Subject: Great quote
Someone on a music listserve I hang out on posted the following quote today. I thought it was relevant to this conversation:

"The language of God seems mostly metaphor. His love is like a red, red rose. His love is like the old waiter with shingles, the guitar playing Buddhist tramp, the raped child and the one who raped her. There is no image too far-fetched, no combination of sounds too harsh, no spelling too irregular, no allusion too obscure or outrageous. The language of grace is all gutturals." - Frederich Buechner
