Wonder

“How could an idiotic universe have produced creatures whose mere dreams are so much stronger, better, subtler than itself?” C. S. Lewis in a letter to Sheldon Vanauken

[Sheldon Vanauken (August 4, 1914–October 28, 1996) is an American author, best known for his autobiographical book A Severe Mercy (1977), which recounts his and his wife's friendship with C. S. Lewis, their conversion to Christianity and dealing with tragedy.]

The universe did not imagine itself into being, but it speaks to us of its origin.

Psalm 19:1-4
The heavens declare the glory of God;
the skies proclaim the work of his hands.
Day after day they pour forth speech;
night after night they reveal knowledge.
They have no speech, they use no words;
no sound is heard from them.
Yet their voice goes out into all the earth,
their words to the ends of the world.
