I've just started reading Richard Rohr's book The Divine Dance. He's a favorite of many of my smart friends but I've never read his works. All I knew was that he's a Franciscan priest and writes really deep stuff.
So I wasn't sure. Especially since this book's sub title is "The Trinity and Your Transformation." Oh, oh! But then I read the quote above and felt better.
I'm loving the book! It starts out talking about those three angels who visited Abraham and Sarah and how they represent the Trinity - a concept that never entered my mind. Rohr tells us about a fifteenth century piece of art by Andrei Rublev called "The Trinity," which features these angels. The icon also features three predominate colors:
- Gold represents perfection, God, the ultimate source.
- Blue - the color of the human, Jesus, and
- Green - represents the photosynthesis, precisely the work of the Holy Spirit.
So here are the three angels eating and drinking and enjoying themselves.
"In the beginning was the relationship."
