Dag Hammarskjöld,
MarkingsIn the point of rest at the center or our being. we encounter a world where all things are at rest in the same way, Then a tree becomes a mystery, a cloud a revelation, each man a cosmos of whose riches we can only catch glimpses. The life of simplicity is simple, but it opens to us a book in which we never get beyond the first syllable.

Saint Lawrence asked,
Whom shall I adore? The Creator or the Creation?
William Schultz (past President of the U-U Association) answered,
Most Western religions have answered back, 'Adore the Creator!' and supplied an image (Zeus, Jehovah, Christ) to be adored. But our answer is far different. Whom shall we adore? The Creation, surely, for whatever there be of the Creator will be manifest in Her handiwork.
Forrest Church comments,
We may claim no inside information of the creator, but we are quick to affirm, learn from, and protect the creation.
The Jewish theologian, Martin Buber, wrote,
God is not here nor there, to be possessed, but is everywhere, to be met. It is only we who is not always there.
We just have to show up.
