Wind

Theologians adopt images of G-d like construction workers utilize tools. We build houses, for ourselves, for one another. We do this because we are creative and pragmatic, expressive and yearning AND we do this because wordlessness (which is the only honest utterance of G-d) is not an option when you need a front door to enter. Right now the only image of G-d working for me is wind. Because all I have is movement and being blown about. That's divine, right?

Oh hell yes wind is divine. Just listen to Yussuf Islam (formerly Cat Stevens), his song "The Wind" is a perfect description of this reality.
