Some say that
Exploring or expressing difficult and unfamiliar theological perspectives
Is just obfuscation
Obfuscation of other ideas which are already more readily taken
However obfuscation is what I would say
Is already typical of most of theology
Filled with language about the unseen or the un-seeable
In contrast to what is seen and seeable.
So how do we as walking breathing creatures
Talk about and acknowledge
What we DO experience of the divine
Except through the ever atomizing and mystifying use of symbols?
Thus I ask, what is that keen relationship
Between the penetrating reality of symbols
And the positive reality of substance?
That's all, this is where I look for God.
Between symbol and substance
I find a simple, interdependent, and profound dialectic
Much nearer than talk of heaven
Even if not as guilded and serene.
aaaaaaand thereby add to the “obfuscation”...
