Lincoln said love the place where you live
It is all about loving God: God so loved the world, so why wouldn’t we?

closer to the really real
Testing and exploring, trying things out, seeking to find our for ourselves: this means we are not taking anything on authority or on tradition or on what is written somewhere, but we are testing out for ourselves what might bring us closer to the really real.

metaphor: using inappropriate words to speak about what we know not
When it comes to God no one knows, everyone is an agnostic, and everything we say about God is a metaphor: using inappropriate words to say some things that might help us learn more about what we know nothing.
So when I am playing with metaphors what I am really doing is testing out the metaphors to see what they might teach us, knowing that none of them tell the whole story and that the map is not the territory, nor is the word God.
