“Because children have abounding vitality, because they are in spirit
fierce and free, therefore they want things repeated and unchanged.
They always say, "Do it again"; and the grown-up person does it again
until he is nearly dead. For grown-up people are not strong enough to
exult in monotony. But perhaps God is strong enough to exult in
monotony. It is possible that God says every morning, "Do it again" to
the sun; and every evening, "Do it again" to the moon. It may not be
automatic necessity that makes all daisies alike; it may be that God
makes every daisy separately, but has never got tired of making them. It
may be that He has the eternal appetite of infancy; for we have sinned
and grown old, and our Father is younger than we.”
G.K. Chesterton
