Test Everything

Baby Squirrel Nibbling Spanish Moss

Baby Squirrel Nibbling Nail

Like human children, the baby squirrels outside my bedroom window seem to put everything in their mouths. A passage from 1 Thessalonians comes to mind:
...test everything;
hold fast to what is good;
abstain from every form of evil. (5:20-21)
I notice that Paul does not say "taste everything," however, which could be more than slightly risky.

Holy Ground

"Angel" Glimpsed Praying in Woods
(Click image to view full-sized.)
Take off your shoes from your feet,
for the place on which you are standing
is holy ground.
(Exodus 3:5)
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.
- Elizabeth Barrett Browning
