Among the hills, when you are sitting in the fresh shadow of the White poplars, exchanging the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows - then that your heart says in silence, "God rests with reason." And when the storm comes, and the powerful wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of heaven - then that your heart says in overwhelming, "God moves with passion." And because you are a breath in the sphere of God, and a sheet in the forest of God, you must also rest with reason and move with passion.
In a serene setting amidst the hills, one can experience a profound connection to nature, particularly when resting under the shade of White poplars. This tranquility evokes a sense of divine stillness, leading one’s heart to recognize that "God rests with reason." Such moments allow for reflection and a deep appreciation of the peace found in the natural world.
Conversely, the onset of a storm brings an intense energy, with the wind and thunder displaying nature's might. During these dramatic events, one feels a different aspect of the divine; the heart acknowledges that "God moves with passion." This duality highlights that, as part of the broader divine sphere, we too must balance our inner calm with passionate engagement with the world around us.
