| p31 | The physical world makes the sacred in distinction to itself. As if this is here, and that is there. Here a tree, there a pond. Here a stone, there a cloud. Here a man, there a woman. Here a husband with his roles. There a wife with hers. Here is the Creator, God, the unnameable; there is where the Creator, God, the unnameable is not. Here is the role we assign to the deity; there a role assigned to a mortal. |
