Earth Cannot Escape Heaven
 |
| (Found here) |
for God is in all things.
Every single creature is full of God
and is a book about God.
Every creature is a word of God….
If I spent enough time with the tiniest creature–
even a caterpillar–I would never have to prepare a sermon.
So full of God is every creature….
Earth cannot escape heaven.
Flee it by going up,
or flee it by going down,
heaven still invades the earth,
energizes it, makes it sacred….
God is at home [here].
It is we who have gone out for a walk….
God is a great underground river
that no one can dam up
and no one can stop….
Now God creates all things
but does not stop creating.
God forever creates
and forever begins to create
and creatures are always being created
and in the process of beginning to be created.
God finds joy and rapture in us.
~Meister Eckhart
