There was no division between God, the Creator and, man, the creature He created. There was no division between the man and the woman; they lived intimately. And the first man and first woman were at one with their environment.

I felt the warmth of God’s peace that day, but I had to turn back to the cold embrace of the solitary cabin. I did not know then that the journey ahead would often be long and hard. Yet, wherever life took me, I carried with me that image of beauty and peace as sustenance for those times when I would experience hunger and thirst.
