Moses heard God's voice in a burning bush, Job heard God in the wind, Paul was blinded by lighting to only hear a voice, Francis of Assisi could commune with animals....
When did we become so detached from the nature kingdom? And when we detached from that kingdom, did we detach from God?
Carolyn Myss says " look for God in the details"...
Can we hear God in our details...as we have Ipods attached to our hips, Blue tooth in our ears, Blackberry's that we need to be IMing...
Bella was born in a place call Iberia....long before technology....so interesting to write a character that would have rely on her organic divinity to live.
We have made it to page 36.

ReplyDeleteI remember searching library books through the LUIS system (card catalogue) at The U of W...hours upon hours...we have sped up the search process and the output process (google; on-line databases; computers, etc.) but has the learning process changed any? has it sped up the way in which our cognitive abilities process?
More diverse? More systematic? Or do we learn and make mistakes at the same pace in our minds? Does technology necessarily speed us up or slow us down?
I can type as fast as I can hand write; the only difference is you can't make anything out of my handwriting...only I know what it says.
Even with all the technology, we continue to make mistakes we have always made...in the same humanistic way and we learn the same lessons but on a more global connected interface.
Does any of that affect our organic divinity? Our senses are organic, regardless of how the information is brought to them?
I think God can be in your iPod if you are open to it and listen for it.
