(via isamizdat)
Throughout my whole life, during every moment I have lived, the world has gradually been taking on light and fire for me, until it has come to envelope me in one mass of luminosity, glowing from within… the purple flush of matter imperceptibly fading into the gold of spirit, to be lost finally in the incandescence of a personal universe…
This is what I have learnt from my contact with the earth—the diaphany of the divine at the heart of a glowing universe, the divine radiating from the depths of matter a-flame.
"(via paradoxlust)
