I love the tension and image of spiritual striving captured in phrase "fluent translator." How wonderfully simple words like those draw us to the core dichotomies of spirituality: being and doing, knowing and unknowing, seeking and non-seeking. Oh, how much there is to simply being in the other-than-human natural world and how different our world would be if we knew and appreciated the language it uses to constantly beckon us to it. Hurray, for fluent translators like Trebbe!
