Beyond the Rain

Somewhere beyond the rain, like fireworks on the forth of July, I see the past before I hear it. And I call it the present. As I reach out to touch her the immanence of her being eludes me. She is a singularity of essence which embracing leads to destruction

Transcendence and Immanence

"Thomas Aquinas, for instance, argued that although after creation there are more beings (plural) than before, there is still no more being (singular), because all that exists other than God shares in the one being of God, although in a particularized way. Jesus Christ is believed to be the Second Person of the Holy Trinity, but incarnate in the humanity received corporally from the Virgin Mary and a divinely-created human soul. Thus, transcendence and immanence interpenetrate in an exceptional manner in the Christian faith, practice and theology. The mysterious and paradoxical nature of Christ provides a bridge between the infinite Deity and finite man."
