See through to a spiritual universe

CORNELIA JOYCE HALEY

The mist swirled and broke apart, then gathered thinly over the harbor. The masts of a ship and the dark outline of the shore were still visible. It was possible to see through the fog enough to know that the entire harbor—every island, every ship—was still there.

Isa. 55:12.
