left to its own natural
level, is a potentially
lucid crystal left in
darkness.
It is perfect in its
own nature, but it lacks something
that it can only receive from outside itself.
But when the light shines in it
becomes transformed into light & seems to lose its nature
in the splendor of a higher nature,
the nature of the light that is in it,"
~Thomas Merton, The Seven Storey Mountain.
