St. John of the Cross referred to God as "na-da"--or as we would say., "nothing".
What he meant, I think, is that God is beyond language. We can't talk about God because we have no words to have that conversation.
That speaks to me.
Maybe, just maybe, we should shut up about God and just absorb and ponder the silence.
Sounds good to me.
What about you?
