As though this world were something other than His infinite light.
A miracle is a tear in the cloak, a disruption of that order, a crack in the wall of creation through which the human mind can glimpse beyond the illusion.
So that the wise will understand, and seekers will find a path to know, that there really is no cloak, no nature. That...
