Even’ Folks, It’s me again. Cooper the Cocker, back to give you something to think about.

Today my lady and I were thinking about God and where God might be. Notice that I didn’t say “He,” because God might just be “She” or “He/She.” Well, as Jim the slave in Huck Finn says, and I paraphrase, I ain’t got no answer to that.

So we found this chunk of poetry written by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. She calls it “Aurora Leigh.” I don’t think she’s related to Barrett Jones the former UA football player, but I’m not sure. BTW” Did you know that guy holds more awards than any previous UA football player? And he is cute, too!

Back to the topic: Where is God I especially like the Browning quotation because in an indirect way it sorta includes me and all my furry fellows – in a way – sorta.  

Aurora Leigh by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (in part)

Earth’s crammed with heaven,

And every common bush afire with God;

But only he who sees, takes off his shoes

The rest sit round it and pluck blackberries.

Now isn’t that nice? Not that blackberries aren’t nice, but opening our eyes and seeing what surrounds us can make even green blackberries taste better.

See you next Tuesday, As Always, Cooper the Cocker Woof! Woof!
