…and so G*d needs this route to touch us and be touched by us.
G*d needs us as much as we need G*d. We need G*d to touch us from above, from within, and from other human beings—we need the touch of a hand on ours, the touch of a heart to ours—and so G*d needs this route to touch us and be touched by us.

What do we get if we seek to build upon bedrock? Some hold that the center of the earth—the absolute bed of all—is rock: molten, fluid, fiery. It is true that we build all we build upon rock—hard flowing fire.

Ordinary people agree on the most important fundamental questions that relate to life. Where disagreements come in most often are on artificial questions raised by people who are after putting money in their own pockets, people who see the world as Its. Ordinary people agree that plants and trees and children come first, that sunlight and getting along are foundational. They agree that this bush is important to preserve, that cars should be slowed, that life is enhanced if the children have open playgrounds in a place that is protected from fast dense traffic. Life agrees to live.
