De Turbine · Out of the Whirlwind
“Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth?”
“Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb?”
“Hast thou entered into the depths of the sea, and walked in the lowest parts of the deep?”
“Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow?”
“Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?”
“Dost thou know the order of heaven?”
Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind. He does not explain; he asks — and the questions are wider than the world.

Isaias (Isaiah) 6Sibilus Aurae Tenuis
The Lord is not in the wind.
The Lord is not in the earthquake.
The Lord is not in the fire.
And after the fire, a whistling of a gentle air.
The One whom the heavens cannot contain is found, at the last, in a whisper. His greatness is not against you. It bends down to be near.
