Worlds are shaped by language. God made us by speaking. Words shape life. I will hope and strive that my words are life-giving, life-shaped, issuing from the eternal Word's speaking and creating.
We, to meet your acquaintance one day,
a day when knowing you is no longer
clouded by our history-making,
distorted by our darkened groping,
hidden in your agents forth-telling
or our kicking against your compelling;
were that it possible, in likely and unlikely futures
to know with assurance your acquaintance,
one day to find ourselves, (myself), on the inside
of your mysteries older than the earth itself,
in the presence of your speaking
no longer subject to our deafening
by objects imposed and cluttering,
instead,
when we become recipients of your promising,
confirm our status as hearers in our obeying
and believers in your living.
