"Preoccupation with irrational, strange, uncanny forms in nature gives us a feeling that a kinship exists between our innermost being and the will that created such forms. Soon we are tempted to regard them as our own moods, our own creations; we see the boundaries between ourselves and nature waver and melt away and can no longer tell whether the images in our retina spring from outward or from inner impressions. An experience of this kind is the simplest means of discovering how creative we are, how deeply our soul participates in the perpetual creation of the world. The same indivisible divinity is indeed at work in us and in nature, and if the outside world were to perish, one of us would be capable of rebuilding it, for every mountain and stream, leaf and tree, root and flower, everything that has ever been formed in nature lies preformed within us, springs from the soul whose essence is eternity.
