Interiority

"For what have I come....?"

All of creation, it seems, has been obedient to its destiny, “each mortal thing does one thing and the same . . . myself it speaks and spells, crying, ‘What I do is me, for that I came’” (Gerard Manley Hopkins, ‘As Kingfishers Catch Fire’). Wouldn’t it be our last and greatest humiliation, if we one day realized that all other creatures have obeyed their destiny with a kind of humility and with trustful surrender? All except us.
