The whole earth is a living icon of the face of God. ... I do not
worship matter. I worship the Creator of matter who became matter for my sake,
who willed to take His abode in matter, who worked out my salvation through
matter. Never will I cease honoring the matter which wrought my salvation! I
honor it, but not as God. Because of this I salute all remaining matter with
reverence, because God has filled it with his grace and power. Through it my
salvation has come to me.
John of Damascus
