Beauty affirms it: He is here!

...the pool is for the birds and I'll be swimming in the sea from now on! At the same time, I was thinking yet another day about Pius X, of blessed memory. He sought a regeneration of Christendom. He saw that God is here and that we must see Him today. In this age of such useless incumbrances, we seek His face in beauty.

Chiefly, God is treated by many of us as someone who is absent. But God is omnipresent and he is here today in Italy and elsewhere. I sing of His greatness in the nature of the Italian peninsula as it is so palpable for all to see His beauty while enjoying its splendor!
