"In the fire of creation,
Gold doesn’t vanish…"

    
slide 9 of 14

A fish cannot drown in water,
A bird does not fall in air.
In the fire of creation,
Gold doesn’t vanish:
The fire brightens.
Each creature God made
Must live in its own true nature;
How could I resist my nature,
That lives for oneness with God.

— Mechtild of Magdeburg
