All living creatures are sparks from the radiation of God’s brilliance, emerging from God like the rays of the sun.

Humanity, take a good look at yourself. Inside, you’ve got heaven and earth, and all of creation. You’re a world—everything is hidden in you.

The mystery of God hugs you in its all-encompassing arms.
