All things desire

.

.

All things desire to be like God,

and infinite space is a mirror

that tries

to reflect His body.

.

But it can’t.

All that infinite existence can show us of Him

is only an atom of God’s

being.

.

God stood behind Himself one night and cast a

brilliant shadow from which creation

came.

.

Even this shadow is such a flame that

moths consume their selves in it every second

-with their sacred passion to possess

beautiful

forms.

.

Existence mirrors God the best it can,

though how arrogant for any image in that mirror,

for any human being, to

think they know

His will;

.

for His will has never been spoken,

His voice would ignite

the earth’s wings

and all upon

it.

.

All things desire to be like God,

all things desire to

love.

.

St Thomas Aquinas
