Water Covers the Sea


"The earth will be full of the knowledge of the Lord as water covers the sea. (11:9)"  Isaiah has been using an image of a return to Paradise where all things live in harmony and bliss.  The knowledge of the Lord he is referring to is not intellectual knowledge but intimacy with our Lover.  We can no more be separated from God than water can be separated from the sea.
(St. Bart's, one of the loveliest islands in the Caribbean Sea.  2006)
