Whosoever knows
and loves the nobility
of the freedom of the Almighty
cannot bear to love
the Almighty alone,
he and she must also
love God in the creatures.
By a faithful endurance
of the Purgative Way
this power to recognize
the presence of God
in the creatures
is acquired and it is
a characteristic
of the illumination.
for me, tony, the appreciation of all creatures has come with the appreciation of life itself, with the recognition (and gratitude and relief) that i am not God, do not have to stand in the place of God judging, and that only God can create life. humans can mimic but not create life, cannot breathe the life-giving spirit that animates the living. -glen

I would like to translate this poem
We all love nobility and freedom of God. Presence of God we realize through creatures. By his knowledge we shall illuminate our path and we shall gain spiritual excellence. An interesting poem is brilliantly penned.10
