"And as my very essence is a verb!' she continued, "I am more attuned to verbs than nouns. Verbs such as confessing, repenting, living, loving, responding, growing, reaping, changing, sowing, running, dancing, singing, and on and on. Humans, on the other hand, have a knack for taking a verb that is alive and full of grace and turning it into a dead noun or principle that reeks of rules: something growing and alive dies.

Unless 'I am! there are no verbs, and verbs are what makes the universe alive." p204, The Shack, William Young
