It has seemed to me
sometimes as though the Lord breaths on this poor gray ember of Creation and it
turns to radiance – for a moment or a year or the span of a life. And then it sinks back into itself again, and
to look at it no one would know it had anything to do with fire, or light.
[…] But the Lord is more constant and
far more extravagant than it seems to imply.
Wherever you turn your eyes the world can shine like
transfiguration. You don’t have to bring
a thing to it except a little willingness to see. Only, who could have the courage to see it?
--Marilynne Robinson, Gilead
