Palamas’s position is more subtle than the usual caricatures allow. He is not saying that God is divided into essence and energies, as though the energies were a second layer of deity beneath the essence.

“God gives himself, not a substitute. Yet the God who gives himself is never reduced to the measure of the receiver. The same simple God is wholly present in his self-gift and infinitely exceeds every reception of that gift. No partition within God is required to say this.”

Poet Malcolm Guite reads and comments upon the Ainulindale in Tolkien’s ‘The Silmarillion.’ I happen to believe that Ainulindale is one of the most beautiful and profound myths passed down to us by the High Elves. youtu.be/Vu5z8az44OI?si=jaE0…

4 of the 16 chapters in my book are devoted to Tolkien’s myth of creation—the Ainulindale. Does that mean that ME fans should buy the book just for those articles? Probably! @tolkienprof @tolkienroad @tolkienworldlg @tolkiensociety @TolkienistView

“Freedom is the unclosing of the idea that lies at our root and is the vital power of our existence. The rose is the freedom of the plant.” ~George MacDonald (‘Donal Grant’)

The unique event of releasing cows onto the fresh spring grass after months spent indoors is known worldwide as "Koeien-dans" (cow dance) in the Netherlands and "Kosläpp" (cow release) in Sweden. This moment represents pure euphoria for freedom.

“We know that those trapped in the depths of their own hell are in that state as a result of the choices they have made… The good news is that they are the objects of a divine search, a search that does not end until the dead are found.”
