From p. 71 of The Light of Christ by Father Thomas Joseph White:
(He's been talking about the 'names of God' in the tradition of the Church Fathers. God is simple, perfect, eternal, good, and wise. He says from this, we can immediately perceive a kind of 'creation mysticism.')
This also means that realities that spring from God, and that are more manifest to us, are a kind of visible expression or natural beauty and complexity of nature, its immense, intricate order and vast history, are visible expressions of the infinite hidden wisdom of God. His divine eternity and wisdom are manifest in the unfolding effects of time and creaturely history. The creation is the written tableau on which God expresses his being outwardly.
