worshipping the christian god who will punish you if you sin = broke. finding god in nature and its wonders = woke. 
absolutely in love with most of the poems, i wish to have this mindset when i grow old.

Why are we made the way we are made, that to love
    is to want?

“Let the world
        have its way with you,
            luminous as it is

with mystery
    and pain—
        graced as it is
            with the ordinary.”

Stunning as always.
