" Most reality is invisible, inaudible. There is plenty to be seen and heard and touched and tasted and smelled: a rainbow of colors in flowers and sunsets; a symphony of tunes and melodies, rhythms and accents; textures smooth and rough; flavors sweet and sour; fragrance and stench. But life in the kingdom is an immersion in a much larger, more comprehensive reality. Most of what I see and hear, smell, touch, and taste, I soon discover is an opening, a window or door, to something invisible: beauty, truth, goodness, and most of all, God. "
