"I think God loves bootleggers-defiant poets who ferment the air as they sing and lift the corners of our mouths. Words about God should never bore because God is the opposite of boring. And what we say about the Gorgeous One should make Him appear a knockout. Whoever made this universe is a Wild Guy. I think only our ecstasies offer any real clues about Him."
-Daniel Ladinsky in his book "Love Poems from God
Now, I have already admitted my discomfort with the whole patriarchy side of organized religion and the divine in general, but this is a definition that makes me smile.
