Our work is the love of God.
Our satisfaction lies in submission to the divine embrace.
Our satisfaction lies in submission to the divine embrace.
~ Jan van Ruysbroeck
The language we use reflects and in turn shapes the way we construct our experience of the world. (Plaskow acknowledges that)...all of these images of God are humanly crafted metaphors, but our metaphors emerge out of specific cultural and political context. When these contexts change, the old metaphors must change with them.
