God
How does one small creature, a humanimal on a small planet in the vastness of the cosmos write about God? No pretense (pre-tense: tensing beforehand) of being scientifically removed and objective comes into play. I, a person, write of God as a Person. God does not operate as a mechanic nor as an IT computer wizard. God takes things personally. More accurately, God gives and is always and ever giving, giving life, giving concern, giving awareness.
I am writing about the process of thinking about God that is evident in writers of God over the centuries. Hmmm…, writers OF God, not writers ABOUT God (though I may include both). Writers OF God across cultures, across time...
Writing of God will also be my salvation, lifting me beyond my normal human squabbles. Squabbling is transformed in writing of God. I have to let myself go in order to see more clearly. I must remember Eckhart's dictum: the eye with which I see God is the eye with which God sees me. This writing of God is a mutual process. For I am writing of the Being who is calling me into being. The Wellspring springing. TaoFlow.
