Early morning walking at the shore, I am observing all God’s magnificent life at the edge of the sea. I am actually thinking directly of Rachel Carson’s 1955 work, “The Edge of the Sea”, her description of barnacles as,” … perhaps the best example of successful inhabitants of the surf zone…,” and I hear these words:

            As you, My son, must take hard tools, sharp iron, to remove barnacles – which cannot be negotiated away – I use a power – harder than diamond, sharper, more precise that you can know – to remove from you what your enemies have tried to put on you and in you: lie, hypocrisy, poison, that which would alter you so much that they think I would not be able to separate the filth from you.

            MY POWER, MY Tools, MY LOVE transcend evil in dimensions it cannot ever know – My Love, and thus what is in you (all) cannot be taken from ME, so what enemies do, what they have done: I OVERCOME!

            Yes, child, that too is dimensionless and difficult for you to describe – but know this: your ideas of size, weight, power, speed, time, space, materials – are good, yet I AM more than orders of magnitude, for I AM THAT I AM.
