In Friends Journal, a look at the mystical depths of creation:
To live in the world is an explicit practical acceptance of the dynamic nature of the Spirit. Our relation with God is not in isolation, apart from our fellow beings; as we are blessed, so we too are able to bless. The Spirit works on us to enable us to give something of what we have received to others, to act as a mirror. So it is that God works not only directly but through human beings, each upon another. As we open our hearts and receive, so we give to and receive from other people. How we relate to the world and to other human beings is part of how we relate to God.
I like the emphasis on balance she talks about toward the end, “Spirit without matter is as unbalanced as matter without Spirit, which is materialism.”
