    Hi dmb,

    Well, we already know that you and I agree on this stuff. We could
    spend days telling one another how brilliant we are.

    So I guess the question was directed more toward the theologians than
    the poets.

    Best,

    DQ is not angry or jealous.
    DQ does not have a chosen people or a beard.
    DQ does not have a church and children do not pray for it to take
    their souls should they suddenly and senselessly die during the
    night.

    Actually, its all in there if you look at it with the eye of a poet
    rather than the theologian.

    The wind blows where it wills, and you hear the sound of it but you
    do not know whence it comes, or whither it goes; so it is with
    everyone who is born of the Spirit. (John 3:8)

    The wind. What could be a better metaphor for the Dynamic?
