"When not distracted 

by the contrary, 

we're searching for signs of life 

in the stillness.  

Subtle breezes in her hair or skirt - 

the way the drapery falls just-so

 and in a certain direction.  

Movement is life wherever we find it - 

knowing first of all that 

God the Great Sculptor

 breathed His Life into us."

 "The God who created the cosmos, 

stretched out the skies, 

laid out the earth 

and all that grows from it, 

Who breathes life into earth’s people, 

makes them alive 

with his own life."   

- Isaiah 42:5  The Message Bible

"Before I shaped you in the womb, 

I knew all about you. 

Before you saw the light of day, 

I had holy plans for you."

- Jeremiah 1:5  The Message Bible
