Poem for Memorial Service 5

You are wondering how to think about God? I will try to tell you what to think. I love the ocean. But the ocean is very large. There are parts I never saw and know little about. What I know about is the part I see. The ocean has a near end that I do know, but it has a far end also on an unknown shore. God is something like that to me. He has a far end among the stars that I don’t much about. But God touches my life as the ocean touches my feet. I know something about that near end of God. Wherever I find goodness, beauty, truth, and love, there I am certain I am touching God.

by Harry Emerson Fosdick
