I welcome all creatures of the world with grace.

All of creation is a song of praise to God.

Everything that is in the heavens, on earth, and under the earth is penetrated with connectedness, penetrated with relatedness.

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

The word stands for the body, but the symphony stands for the spirit.

We cannot live in a world that is not our own, in a world that is interpreted for us by others. An interpreted world is not a home. Part of the terror is to take back our own listening, to use our own voice, to see our own light.

The Word is living, being, spirit, all verdant greening, all creativity. This Word manifests itself in every creature.
