painting of synagogue by a river

From Martin Buber

Although we earthly beings never look at God without the world, but only look at the world in God, yet as we look we shape eternally the form of God.

Martin Buber, I and Thou, translated by Ronald Gregor Smith, Scribner Classics, 2000 (1958), 111.
