Genesis does not, however, reflect philosophically on this signature; by depicting the act of creation and the result — a magnificent paradise well stocked with its birds, fishes, cattle, and so on, not to mention creeping things, a veritable kingdom
over which the man and the woman reign in the
peace of an integral nature — it simply shows that God's abundant goodness has been
poured out, that his own nature has been «mirrored» somewhat as a mountain is mirrored in a clear lake.
