It proposes the rediscovery--or, better--a new birth of this theology and understanding but with a new scope and new power for our time.

Albert Camus called Simone...

This is a Christian mystic's archive of writings about feeling God's abiding presence and love in all things, even in the poet himself, but also feeling pain and loneliness because human finitude prohibits knowing God fully. He cannot wholly know the God he wholly loves. Finally the poet comes to feel in the natural world God reaching out to the poet personally, which brings hope and peace.
