Everything is a spark of that eternal radiance.
Why flee from the world in order to find it
when you yourself are already on fire?
~ from MY SECRET IS SILENCE by Adyashanti
Exiled on earth as we are, unless we are able to content ourselves with that shadow of Paradise that is Virgin Nature, we must create for ourselves surroundings which, by their truth and their beauty recall our heavenly origin and thereby also awaken our hope.
