“Yet the irony comes when in order to present a theology of a fundamentally “Open” and “related” God, one of the essential moves must be to place God as an agent outside of me as something that I can thus fundamentally relate to as exterior. If God reacts and so literally changes because of me, He can no longer be the source or upholder of my very being.”

The Starlight Night
Look at the stars! look, look up at the skies!
O look at all the fire-folk sitting in the air!
The bright boroughs, the circle-citadels there!
Down in dim woods the diamond delves! the elves’-eyes!
The grey lawns cold where gold, where quickgold lies!
Wind-beat whitebeam! airy abeles set on a flare!
Flake-doves sent floating forth at a farmyard scare!
Ah well! it is all...
