God is…
All theology is heresy. God is Love; the Devil is in the detail.
This sums my faith. To say anything more is to say too much; yet, I cannot stop saying stuff.
I need a magic eraser to strikethrough text even as I type. I am stuck. Words, strung together, grasp in vain for the object of worship; yet as my utterances hang in the air, I find I want to suck them back into my mouth. I cannot say enough but at the same time, I say too much; God is always more and different.
Theology is conceptual idolatry. God is the subject for whom there is no adequate predicate: God is…
But, perhaps, even that is to say too much!
