Playing with words

I quite like playing with words. It can be a great pastime, it can be good communication (an underrated activity in my view), and it can occasionally be a teeny bit self-serving (as illustrated in Kez's blog on the Ikon service at Greenbelt).

I read these words in Brian McLaren (Generous Orthodoxy):

language can be a window through which one glimpses God, but never a box in which God can be contained

McLaren also quotes my "favourite human author I almost understand" - C.S. Lewis (who is not trying to be clever, he just is a lot more clever than me).
