Radha

“There is passion in the universe: the young stars, the whirling galaxies – the living, pulsing earth thrives in the passionate embrace of life itself. Our love for one another is the language of our passionate God….It is desire that spins us round, desire that sends the blood through our veins, desire that draws us into each other’s arms and onward in the lifelong search for God’s face.”

(From a drama on the subject of God as lover, by Sandra Ward-Angell, quoted in Sallie McFague, Models of God (Philadelphia: Fortress Press, 1987)
