Alfred North Whitehead says that God is "the lure for feeling, the eternal urge of desire." I understand this today in a fresh way. God is like the alluring ocean on a bright day, compelling us to abandon everything but who we really are. When all the crustiness is washed off, we are simply shining beings flying kites and holding tiny hands and jumping like fishes.
