The Bible is called the Word of God- we could also call humans the breath of God. It certainly would stand to reason that God would breathe words into the heart and soul of the poet, the novelist, the essayist to shift our eyes from the ground to the heavens. Excellent piece here [let's not quibble about specific religious affiliations here- the point is that God speaks to us through written word as well as oral word]
