My Apologies, Again

Quickly:
My wife just hit me with an email containing "Honesty alert:  it really bugs me when you call God an It,       even if you do capitalize the I."

To which I replied along the lines of "my bad - must be the Jewish mystic/Kabbalist in me." To which she then made a comment about a red bracelet, Madonna, and subsequent deterioration of the conversation took hold from that point on, even though I informed her that Jesus could have been accurately described as a Jewish mystic (her foil to that remark was that even so, Jesus still referred to God as "Father" rather than "It").

All of this, coming barely a week after being addressed as "
Bodhisattva Worth" by one of my favorite Commenters - not bad for a Roman Catholic in good standing with the Church!

So to anyone else who has issued their own internal honesty alerts, I have not meant to offend anyone's sensibilities, and as any regular reader of this blog knows, I hold people's wonderful and varied faiths in the highest regard and give them my utmost respect.

Worth: It seems to me that the time is right for you to introduce yourself to the concept of 'Ardhanareeshwar' (Ardha = half, nari = woman, Eshwar = God) in Hindu mythology.

The word is descriptive of Lord Shiva, the lord of destruction in the Hindu trilogy of Brahma (creator), Vishnu (preserver) and Mahesh/ Shiva (destroyer).

Both female and male forms make the whole: this is the essence of the idea of this depiction.

Interesting, eh, what comes out when one starts digging? :-)
