Beloved, lets loosen our grip on human language. Wasnt that the purpose of the gift of tongues at Pentecost--- to show that heavenly language unites and blesses? God was telling all men to loosen their grip on their own natural understanding, to stop idolizing language, to stop worshipping the letter, and to stop loving the literal. Instead, there is a non-verbal land of milk and honey waiting for us. This land flows with unspoken unctions, transcendent tingles, virtuous vibes, inner illuminations, incomprehensible utterances, and groanings beyond words. When I now think of God, words no longer initially come to mind. Rather, a tone, a vibe, a sensation, a knowing fills my heart with divine recognition. Words can then follow, inspired words, poetic words, passionate words. But language here never leads. It always follows.
