Bare Branches

" I suspected that all the yearnings for I knew not what that I had ever felt--when autumn leaves were burning in the twilight, when wild geese flew crying overhead, when I looked up at bare branches against the stars, when spring arrived on an April morning--were in truth yearnings for him. 

For God. I yearned towards Him."


-Sheldon Vanauken, A Severe Mercy
