"In the beginning was the Word...."
The Gospel of John is my favorite of the four, because the idea that new realities are created by words seems to me to be to be exactly "right." Certainly that is true for the world and in the world that we create, the world that we most immediately inhabit.
We live, simultaneously, in two different worlds. Ultimately, we live in the World of Nature, a world that we did not create and the world upon which all life depends. Most immediately, we inhabit a "human world" that we create ourselves. Because our human world is the result of our own choices and actions, we can say, quite properly, that we live, most immediately, in a “political world.” In this blog, I hope to explore the interaction of these two worlds that we call home.
