Dostoevsky: Love All Creation


Love all Creation. 
The whole and every grain of sand. 
Love every leaf, 
every ray of light. 
Love the animals.
Love the plants.
Love each separate thing. 
If you love everything 
thou wilt perceive the Divine Mystery 
in all things.
Once you perceive it 
you will comprehend it better every day.
And you will come, at last,
to love the whole world
with an all embracing love.

Dostoevsky,
Brothers Karamazov 
  
Also excerpted from One River, Many Wells
by Matthew Fox
