God is unknowable. All we have is metaphor.

Linda Pettway quilt

The same could be said for knowing anything of any depth or complexity ... our universe, each other, or how to navigate through a turbulent situation. The metaphors that we hold are what enable us to construct meaning and find our way. Metaphor is much more than a tool of language--it's how we make sense of the world. It's how we learn.

We'll be exploring metaphor at my upcoming one-day workshop at Book Passage. Our means of exploration with be writing and image. I hope you'll join us.
