A glorious dance

Look!  Here I am, caught up in  this fragment of chronology, in this bit of bone and flesh and water which makes up my mortal body, and yet I am also part of that which is not imprisoned in time or mortality.  Partaker simultaneously of the finite and infinite, I do not find the infinite by repudiating my finiteness, but by being fully in it, in this me who is more than I know.  This me, like all of creation, lives in a glorious dance of communion with all the universe.   

Madeleine L'Engle, from "A Stone for a Pillow: Journeys with Jacob"
