Heading out today. Here's a Thomas Merton quote I love:
"In all created things we who do not yet perfectly love God can find something that reflects the fulfillment of heaven and something that reflects the anguish of hell. The fulfillment we find in creatures belongs to the reality of the created being a reality that is from God and belongs to God and reflects God. The anguish we find in them belongs to the disorder of our desire than is actually there, a greater fulfillment than any created thing is capable of giving. Instead of worshiping God through his creation we are always trying to worship ourselves by means of creatures."
