God as Verb

God must be understood as a verb, calling, informing and shaping us and all creation into being all that we were created to be….

presence

it all comes down to presence

the sacred “tenting” inside these

rather fragile vessels

common clay

the stuff of earth

presence

sacred interwoven into

our very being

“verbing”

moving

loving

forgiving

giving

blessing

expanding

enriching

evolving

creating

restoring

reconciling

healing

re-creating

the arrival of sacred into this space

is not a matter of space invaders

some alien being choosing to come

into space

not sacred

from sacred

it was the revelation of sacred

within sacred

this earth is sacred space

we are sacred space

YHWH (for lack of a name)

“I AM” (you think we would have gotten the point)

is a presence

a force of nature

not only among us

but in us

verbing

sacred presence

never static

but moving

like the wind
