Letters from a Shipwreck in the Sea of Suns and Moons Quotes

“The holiness of lightning is in its purpose. Though it sets a dead tree ablaze, frights a dog or slays a king, what is struck is revealed by a light that makes no judgment, only resolution. The purpose of lightning is to reveal that all things are holy because they stand against the storm. The thunder shouts that every existence is a creation of the gods. Existence itself is purpose; and so all things have holy purpose; the stones that roll, the ants that toil, even the gods who are mere wind and wave, scudding clouds and rolling stones, inevitable and impersonal as the stars that watch beyond and above the storm.”
― Raymond St. Elmo, Letters from a Shipwreck in the Sea of Suns and Moons
