Winged Victory

The Miracle of Existence

"Nothing could be more miraculous than the fact that we have a consciousness that makes the world intelligible to us and are moved by what is beautiful."

-Marilynne Robinson

Isaiah 55:12

"If I am alive this time next year,
Will I have arrived in time to share?
Mine is about as good this far;
I'm still applied to what You are.

And I am joining all my thoughts to You
And I'm preparing every part for You.

I heard from the trees a great parade.
And I heard from the hills a band was made.
Will I be invited to the sound?
Will I be a part of what You've made?

And I am throwing all my thoughts away
And I'm destroying every bet I've made
And I am joining all my thoughts to You
And I'm preparing every part for You."

"All the Trees of the Field Will Clap Their Hands" by Sufjan Stevens.
