Nature Quote by Michael Matthews
““Reality is not only who God is and what he creates; reality is also how God and creation relate. Reality is chock-full of relationships: God with God; God with angels; God with Satan; God with demons; God with nature; God with mankind; angels with God; angels with angels; angels with Satan; angels with demons; angels with mankind; mankind with God; mankind with angels; mankind with Satan; mankind with demons; mankind with nature; mankind with mankind. And on and on. The intrigue of all these relationships writes the storyline of reality. Reality can be pictured simply as dots and lines. The dots are the entities of reality; the lines are the interactions and relationships between the entities.””
