G-d's Image

We were created in G-d's image. Yet G-d has no image.

Nevertheless, from a point before and beyond all things, G-d looked upon a moment in time to be and saw there a soul, distant from Him in a turbulent world, yet yearning to return to Him and His oneness. And He saw the pleasure He would have from this union.
So He invested His infinite light into that finite image and became one with that image and in that image He created each one of us.

As for that moment He saw, that was the moment now.
