When we yield, to whom do we yield? Not so much to the other but to the in between, the one who arises in the center. This is the fear of conversation: that we yield, we are not in control, someone else might change us without our input. But our input is always there, potential or actual as we choose.

If G*d is dynamic, then G*d is yielding to us as we yield to G*d. Hence the dry skin on the dewy field, saving the city if only 100 or 10 or 1 are found, the nevertheless prayer.

:- Doug.

Perhaps we do not live on an I-It to I-Thou continuum, rather a circle or a spiral, and we travel through these ways of standing with the world hour by hour, sometimes in the It side, other times in the You world, and many times in between.

:- Doug.

What could it mean that conversation is dynamic?
