We are the love of God. “For the love of God” we say, and we say aright, for everything we do in this world can be done for and as this love, this movement, this healing.

:- Doug.

I have less trouble with verb talk about God, than noun talk: I can speak of what God does, but know practically nothing of “who” or “what” God is, and in fact I doubt that God is either a “who” or a “what.” Is God a “you?” Not even sure if Buber said so much; he did speak of meeting God, that all real living is meeting.

:- Doug.

God is not person and not less than person but is person-ing. God persons you and me, and be-s all beings. God “bears all things….”

:- Doug.

We most often use language of nouns for God: king, father, mother, lover, friend. These however for me are packages of the verbal moving. I am beginning (again) to see G*d as moving, not even motion, not a thing, not a being. Hard to express, since I am almost forced to say “a” “thing-ing” or being. This brings up to me the sieging forces who were dispelled with a rumor and a fear among them in an OT story: this is how God-ding works: moving through and among.
