My cousin is a poet. He's a professor of poetry at Colorado State and has published several 100 page poems that I barely understand.
But when I speak to him, I get the distinct impression that I'm talking to someone who's very deliberate about his words. He says what he means to say....using precisely the words with the nuances he wants.
Today's Psalm reminds me of talking to Dan. The power of language - and the role that words play in our faith. The Voice of the Lord is powerful -- God said let there be...and there was... ---Christ, the Word of God
There is something remarkable in the way we communicate with each other - something intricate and miraculous in the human brain's ability to use language -- linguistics, semantics, neuropsychology, and poetry -- all fields of study that delve into the power of lanugage.
And the Voice of the Lord is part of it all.
