Fig leaves
John Evangelist, the writer, said that the Word became flesh, full of grace and truth. Toni Morrison, the writer, said that it is language that makes us human.
The DNA people take their intriguing double helices and make up a language with only a four-letter alphabet. It’s these “words,” they say, that when parsed a certain way for each of us not only become our flesh, but make us human, as well. Further, and probably much to the disappointed amazement of some, they now claim it’s pointless for us to lay so much stock by something called race.
Sure hope they leave sex alone, or else there won’t be anything left for us to make a fuss over. We churchers would simply have to get on with words full of grace and truth, and leave sex to the fig leaves of our imaginations.
