"Revelation is orientation." -Eugen Rosenstock-Huessy
I love this post Amar! Has a very similar feel to work I was doing on my MA thesis on Gen 1-3 as a liturgical framework model.
I love this provocative lengthy reflection of Clinton C. Gardner on ERH's statement when he says, "Prayer in this larger sense is not like reaching up to be in touch with an all powerful Divine Father who can advise, guide, intervene, and save. Instead, it is like centering oneself at a place where one's interior life meets one's task in the exterior world, and like drawing strength from one's own past, and the past of the whole race, as one seeks to find the way into a meaningful future. At this center of the cross in which we live, God reveals himself to us. Revelation becomes a new orientation to the times of our personal history and all history, just as it becomes a new orientation of our inner self to the world outside us."
There is certainly a whole bibliology to be fleshed out there, but your reflections made me think of this.
