Great idea and feelings summed up in a few lines. Love, awe, humility, wonder, the natural human feelings when considering the greatness of the universe. Lovely!

I concur that it's difficult to say something original about a poem you agree with - but I'm always happy to hear when I've introduced someone to something new they may like. Even a few words are more than sufficient. AnonaMiss: I don't know exactly what Ammons was getting at with those lines, but considering his undeniable freethought background, we can be confident it's not the standard religious meaning.

It sounds really religious, actually - the home we come from isn't earth, and is a place very far away but we haven't quite forgotten it? Or is that just me overreacting in the light of memories of "the knowledge of god is in us all even if you deny it" fundie conversations past?

Always nice to be introduced to new writers and thinkers. This particular piece is really beautiful. Ah, I hate reviewing poems and paintings that I like. Words never seem to be enough.
