You are encircled by the arms of the mystery of God.

There is the music of Heaven in all things.

Sometimes when we hear a song we breathe deeply and sigh. This reminds the prophet that the soul arises from heavenly harmony. In thinking about this, he was aware that the soul itself has something in itself of this music.

All living creatures are sparks from the radiation of God’s brilliance, emerging from God like the rays of the sun.

I welcome all creatures of the world with grace.

Just as a mirror, which reflects all things, is set in its own container, so too the rational soul is placed in the fragile container of the body. In this way, the body is governed in its earthly life by the soul, and the soul contemplates heavenly things through faith.

Every element has a sound, an original sound from the order of God; all those sounds unite like the harmony from harps and zithers.
