NAMES FOR THE DIVINE OTHER IN 55 WORDS


Martin Buber defined I-Thou.
Paul Tillich, The Eternal Now.
Whether Allah, Jahweh, Jehovah, Elohim, Wakan Tanka
What’s in a name?  God, unspoken and unseen,
Creator, Energy, Power, Spirit, Life Force.
Almighty and Everlasting.
Why try to describe the indescribable?
Holy is her name, that which is sacred, unattainable.
Transcendent, above, beyond and omnipresent.
Natural order.
