Well said Gillian.
Indeed – here’s to the living individual experience of this awesome world and the uplifting communion of souls.

In reply to Janey.

Seeing God as both Mother and Father is a theme that runs right through The Priest’s Wife, due to be published by Pantolwen Press late March. But not all the characters agree, and the outworking of the conflict – both internal and external – is a strong narrative thread. Gillian

interesting thoughts Gillian .. the thing about ‘ god ‘ is that she never went away … like Thich Nhat Hahn’s interbeing…. i love how so many paths of thought point to the same things … I like the sound of Alyosha & his lived experience .. maybe i should finally read the Brothers Karamazov …

A beautifully written and thoughtful post. Many Protestants say all those who are part of the Church are saints – for example Paul in Colossians 1:1-2. Our understanding of God has definitely evolved to the modern view that God is principally love (as well as mercy and justice etc). When we manifest these qualities then we participate in the nature of God. And I agree about intentionality – that God is creation, meaning and purpose which is in the very fabric of the universe. Thank you for sharing your thoughts and provoking much productive musing!
