The natural world consists of symbols that are at once permanent, yet everchanging – waters move, earth shifts, light transforms – but water, earth, and light retain their characteristics throughout all time.

“He laid the foundations of the earth, that it should not be moved forever and ever.” Ps 104:5 NHEB “The hand of the Lord was on me, and he brought me out in the Spirit of the Lord, and set me down in the midst of the valley; and it was full of bones. He caused me to pass by them all around: and look, there were very many in the open valley; and look, they were very dry. He said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” I answered, “Lord God, you know.”” Ezek 37:1-3 NHEB “He answered them, “I tell you that if these were silent, the stones would cry out.”” Luke 19:40 NHEB
