The Bible is full of miracles,
and they have been accepted by thinking and unthinking individuals alike.
But the miracle which every one is permitted to experience some time in his life,
the miracle which demands no intervention, no intercessor, no supreme exertion of will,
the miracle which is open to the fool and the coward as well as the hero and the saint, is love.
Born of an instant, it lives eternally.
If energy is imperishable, how much more so is love!
Like energy, which is still a complete enigma, love is always there, always on tap.
Man has never created an ounce of energy, nor did he create love.
Love and energy have always been, always will be.
Perhaps in essence they are one and the same. Why not?
Perhaps this mysterious energy which is identified with the life of the universe,
which is God in action, as some one has said,
perhaps this secret, all-invasive force is but the manifestation of love.
Henry Miller, The Rosy Crucifixion III: Nexus
