We went to Mass this morning at Our Lady of the Mountains. The priest said we couldn't understand the Trinity with our mere intelligence. It's beyond us. Of course that got me thinking. I can try can't I?
The Trinity is like:
An egg--shell, yolk, egg white.
Sun--sun, light, heat.
H2O--water, steam, ice.
Triplets--3 persons with same DNA.
Towel--one towel with three folds.
Shamrock--flower with three leaves.
Cake--one three layer cake.
You can't help but try to understand. Otherwise, one wouldn't have any idea and give up--no image, no picture=no god.
OK. instead of nouns how about verbs:
The Trinity is like an action verb:
Shine--radiate, warm, glow.
Whisper--murmur, buzz, purr.
Love--feel, embrace, yearn.
Speak--talk, articulate, verbalize.
But there's too many ways to express the ineffable.
How about the verb to be?
The Trinity is like verb to be:
I am!
