"God does not want to be the only reality in our lives, the only relationship in our network, the only message on our screen. In the story we find ourselves in, God wants us to name the giraffe, and laugh as it reaches the tall, tall branches; name the zebra, and smile as it gallops across the plain; name the fuit bat and name the dragonfly, and wonder as they fly above us - and enjoy them all....I think the story tells us that the Creator wants man and woman to find each other, as a lost part of themselves. And so in the story we have the man and the woman, naked, together, both innocent and passionate, not ashamed to see and to be seen, to know and be known, to need and be needed, to want and enjoy another being, given by the Being."
