Renew the Face of the Earth

“There is a saying: ‘Send forth your Spirit and all things will be created and you shall renew the face of the earth.’ Do you realize that that is true—that he can come like a gentle breath ‘blowing where it listens and you hear the sound thereof but cannot tell whence it comes, and where it goes,’ and that he can touch your soul and make everything different? What was real before still remains, yet everything has been renewed. Then you become aware that you have a heart and that you, too, have received the ability to love, and things are filled with a gentle and holy meaning, and you know that everything is good and that it is worthwhile—divinely worthwhile—to be alive and to persevere.”
