“You this moment come forth, a wave freshly breaking on the face of the deep. In an ocean of overlapping waves, all new, all different.
"Perhaps every creature in a creature’s own way is called. Persons personally, animals bestially, plants vegetably… Among persons, a tinge of consciousness of this lure lets us choose— to grasp a fresh possibility, or not…
"Here is the question, perhaps finally the only question that matters: In this moment, will you somehow materialize the possibility? Will you in traditional language heed God’s will? Like a way cresting, turning, might you sense the wisdom for this moment? Do you begin, however minutely, to embody the love that is possible— in this moment, this time, this place?”
Catherine Keller, On the Mystery: Discerning Divinity in Process (Minneapolis, MN: Fortress Press, 2008), 100.
