Dash to pieces

Each grain, each tiniest particle of matter, each infinitesimal impulse of light, declares, ‘I am at the center; for me all things were made.’ Behold the glint of the firefly in the twilight, behold the Milky Way of a billion stars; each is as nothing to God, and each is great enough to hold him in the fullness of his glory. All the ancient universe was made, so that the firefly could glow for his moment on earth. Anthony Esolen
