Look! Here I am, caught up in the fragment of chronology, in this bit of bone and flesh and water which makes up my mortal body, and yet I am also part of that which is not imprisoned in time or mortality. Partaker simultaneously of the finite and the infinite, I do not find the infinite by repudiating my finiteness, but by being fully in it, in this me who is more than I know. This me like all creation, lives in a glorious dance of communion with all the universe. In isolation we die; in interdependence we live. -- Madeleine L'Engle
