So that finding God in creatures, and creatures in God, they love God, not the creatures; as pearl-fishers, though they find the pearls in oysters, consider that they are simply fishing for pearls.
Saint Francis de Sales

    Interesting. I suppose it is only the pearl within me that allows me to reach for the pearl in others. Also makes me think of Jesus’ words about not throwing your pearls before swine.
