Reflection (excerpt):

"The flood, and the decimation of fleshly creation, was an incredibly
violent act. And I like to think...I like to think that this covenant
is God changing God’s mind. That perhaps, God eventually came to the
conclusion that killing everything and everybody off caused God too
much sorrow and heartbreak. That God’s own heart was softened enough
to consider that there must be another way."
