“In the beginning was the Word,” writes John in the prologue to his gospel. And all things have come into being through the word… It is not as if the elements of the universe are fashioned out of a neutral substance. It is not as if creation is set afire from afar. The matter of life comes forth directly from the womb of God’s being… The whiteness of the moon, the wildness of the wind, the moisture of the fecund earth is the glow and wildness and moisture of God now. It is the very stuff of God’s being of which we and creation are made.”
J. Phillip Newell
“Christ of the Celts”
