God Is
"Life is this simple: We are living in a world that is absolutely transparent, and God is shining through it all the time. This is not just a fable or a nice story. It is true. If we abandon ourselves to God and forget ourselves, we see it sometimes, and we see it maybe frequently. God manifests Himself everywhere, and in everything, in people and in things and in nature and in events. It becomes very obvious that He is everywhere and in everything, and we cannot be without Him. You cannot be without God. It's impossible. It's simply impossible."
—Thomas Merton
