When I first met John, he told me that God is a verb to him.
John is one of the leaders of the Toronto Religious Society of Friends (liberal Quakers). They don't have titles, just members. It's not a "church" but a "Monthly Meeting". Actually, they meet twice a week, in-person and online on Sundays, and online on Wednesdays.
Here's the link to their website: www.torontoquakers.org/
第一次見到John，他有句話讓我印象非常深刻。他說：“對我來説上帝是個動詞。”
John所在的多倫多月會是一個自由派貴格會聚會處，他是那裏的負責人之一。他們沒有頭銜，只叫會員。不叫“教會”，而是月會，Monthly Meeting. 實際上是每週兩次聚會，週日是線下和線上，週三只有線上。

Here's the last part, Poem-Breathe underwater. There's only Chinese translation in the video.
I built my house by the sea.
Not on the sands, mind you; not on the shifting sand.
And I built it of rock.
A strong house by a strong sea.
And we got well acquainted, the sea and I.
Good neighbours.
Not that we spoke much. We met in silences.
Respectful, keeping our distance, but
looking our thoughts across the fence of sand.
Always, the fence of sand our barrier,
Always, the sand between.
And then one day,
--and I still don’t know how it happened -
the sea came.
Without warning. Without welcome, even
Not sudden and swift, but a shifting across
the sand like wine,
less like the flow of water than the flow of blood.
Slow, but coming.
And I thought of flight and I thought of drowning
and I thought of death.
And while I thought, the sea crept higher, till it reached my door. And I knew then,
there was neither flight, nor death, nor drowning.
That when the sea comes calling,
you stop being neighbours,
Well-acquainted, friendly-at-a-distance neighbours,
And you give your house for a coral castle,
And you learn to breathe underwater.
- Breathing Under Water (Sr. Carol Bialock)
