MONASTIC MUSE
muse \ ‘myüz \ 1: vb to turn something over in the mind meditatively,
2: to think reflectively, 3: n a state of deep thought…
God being Who and What He is, and we being who and what we are,
the only thinkable relation between us is one of full lordship on His part
and complete submission on ours.
