Today’s Inspiring Reads discovered during my searches for Goethe on matter and spirit

• Goethe and the search for the spirit of science | Mark Vernon | The Guardian
• Teaching a Stone to Talk made me realise I’m drawn to wild authors | Geoff Dyer | The Guardian
• Teaching a Stone to Talk – The Atlantic – Essay by Annie Dillard
• Goetheanum: Rudolf Steiner and Contemporary Art | Gagosian Quarterly

My favourite – the one that resonated with me the most – a quote from Annie Dillard’s essay:

What have we been doing all these centuries but trying to call God back to the mountain, or, failing that, raise a peep out of anything that isn’t us? What is the difference between a cathedral and a physics lab? Are they not both saying Hello? We spy on whales and on interstellar radio objects; we starve ourselves and pray till we’re blue.

Is my own book that I am researching a cry to a God, or gods, in whom I am unsure I believe? Hoping for an answer.
