Creatio ex amore

Dionysus said that creation is the overflow of the superabundant love of God.  That’s true: Many waters cannot quench Yahweh’s fiery love.  That love is the flame of the Spirit, the uncreated Flash that flickers over the formless earth and is not put out but instead moves water here and there as it will.

Recreation too: The fiery windy Spirit-dove reappears to Noah, and parts the waters again.
