“The many branches of science that observe the physical world and its relationship to the cosmos are profoundly privileged in that they bring their exponents into a close relationship with the teeming varieties of life… many scientists have discovered that the patterns revealed within the universe show an intelligent consistency and order that is both beautiful and implicit.
We do not have to be forever open to unseen reality or credulous of every wonder to appreciate the implicit order of the greater universe. This is revealed every day through our ordinary, physical senses. When we keep the vision of nature’s revelation before our eyes and imaginations, each moment becomes loaded with eternal potential. To be confederate with eternity, we need the practice of life that gives us a special cynosure through which to view the whole universe in every precious instant.”
