I don't know what came over me. I clicked on a British website devoted to theology. Soon I was listening to an infantilizing lecture about God's plan, which as near as I could tell was and is all about remaining hidden from human beings because we are small. I tried to turn off the podcast but the button wouldn't work. Click. Click. And all the while this treacle voice telling me how tiny we are. Tiny and undeserving. So I did what all inestimable creatures must do: I went out into the world. I walked around. When I came back the podcast was over. But the voice lingered in memory. Tiny. Tiny. The colonizing Bishop. So sweet and so cold!
