1:2
I recently had occasion to note my playfully serious view that:
*If we take religious language literally, we're not taking it seriously enough.*
I just learned that the first Old English poets didn't use the Latin-derived word "create," but instead the word which we now have as "shape."
2:2
And the understanding was that God shapes the earth, and that poets shape words.
There are many forms of spiritual and religious expression. I find it beneficial to see much of it as poetry.
