rising aloft

Let yourself be lifted up...

read God's Word.

"Great and wide as the world,

rooted in the abysmal depths of creation

and rising aloft into the blue mysteries of heaven...

sunrise and sunset, promise and fulfillment,

birth and death, the whole human drama,

everything is in this book.

It is the Book of Books, Biblia."

- Heinrich Heine

Ludwig Boerne (1840)
