@TheaEuryphaessa I'm seeing the theme everywhere in my feed just now. "Nothing comes unannounced. If you're paying attention, stuff comes down the pike. First a little wave, then a medium wave, then the tsunami." Terence McKenna. (Rom. 8:21-22)
@alastairmci @WaltBrueggemann Brueggemann, on it, always. Compare Blake: “The Religions of all Nations are derived from each Nation’s different reception of the Poetic Genius, which is every where call’d the Spirit of Prophecy.” The poet as miracle worker, not of the last word, but the first, opening the way.
