Melissa Morewitz- Landscapes of the Sacred #2

The concept that ordinary American landscape is a mask of the holy is an interesting one. In my final paper, I not only think about sacred places as holy, but I talk about everything in nature as a sort of mask of God. I think everything from the grass to the rain is a part of God. "God is yet encountered with a striking immediacy in the larvae Dei- the created marvels of God's hand, the bread and wine at Mass, even the twisted mystery of one's own self as created being." I think this supports the thesis of my paper which argues you do not have to be submerged in wilderness to have a spiritual experience and it even makes me think I want to alter my thesis!
