God,

What shall we call you?

Father is too small a name.

Mother is also too small.

Lord is masculine and sets up a type of relationship that is not helpful for us to relate to you.

Creator is better perhaps,

But even that only describes one function of your being.

You are all

And you are in all.

We cannot name you,

Because every name will only limit our imagination of you.

Help us to imagine you in the broadest possible way we can,

Even though our imagination can never contain you.

Amen.
