"On a summer morning / I sat down / on a hillside / to think about God / a worthy pastime. / Near me, I saw/ a single cricket; / it was moving the grains of the hillside / this way and that way. / How great was its energy, / how humble its effort. / Let us hope / it will always be like this, / each of us going on / in our inexplicable ways / building the universe."
- Mary Oliver, "Song of the Builders"
