This time what jumps out at me is the description of God who 'resists being domesticated, or being told how the holy will work'. - What a searing reminder. Sometimes, after all, it is good to be reminded. It doesn’t get dull, revisiting these words and images; I am particularly drawn to the flames and the offering regarding Pentecost.

I just finished reading the one on the Trinity, and was intrigued by your words and mesmerized by the image. I especially loved the part about the empty space where the trinity meets, and that we will never know all the names of God. My understanding of the Trinity has given much shape to my work with the interfaith community on campus, and you have enhanced that understanding. Thank you!
