Did you ever think that God, god, the universe, or whatever higher power you believe in, talks in a metaphorical language to us, as in dreams (when we are closest to our original understanding) or inspiration. Not to be puzzling or cryptic or just some flirt, but just because that's the language of the universe. It's a language we are acquainted with. It's a language we were nursed on. But it's a dying language if we allow it to be. It's not the language of the marketplace. It's not the language of entertainment. And we need to learn again to listen in that language. As well as write in that language. Not for art's sake. That's merely mouthing what we hear without attention to its meaning. But for our sake.
