The Arcs of God

The geometry and architecture of the Kingdom of God is not made of circles, but of arcs. He calls a "we", a community, an arc - a forever open circle, never quite complete, looking for the belonging of someone else to join the group, "tag!" The best reason to go outside of one's room, house, sense of certainty, is to go out to "that neighborhood", that place over another border of one's own complacency and sense of comfort, and sort of play that childhood game, Group Tag. You remember the game - it's where one person is "it" and touches someone else. Then they join hands and move together and touch someone else and the hand joining gets bigger until everyone gets "it" and is "it" and grows on from there. Then, we might "get it".
