The world is full of God

The eyes of my soul were opened, and I beheld the plenitude of God, whereby I did comprehend the whole world, both here and beyond the sea, and the abyss and all things else; and therein I beheld naught save the divine Power in a manner assuredly indescribable, so that through excess of marvelling the soul cried with a loud voice, saying: "This world is full of God!"
 Angela of Foligno, 13th Century Franciscan Nun quoted in "Acceptance" by Gillian Stokes
