I am the light that is above everything, I am all; all came forth from me and all has returned to me. Split the wood and I am there. Lift up the stone and you will find me there. [Gospel of Thomas 77]

These are striking metaphors for the closeness of the divine; it brushes against us in every moment of every day but often we lack the eyes to see, the ears to listen.

Ron Miller, Wisdom of the Carpenter
