‘”God speaks to Job in the mid dle of the whirlwind” (Job 38, 1). And there was a great and strong wind, so that it rent the mountains and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind. And after the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. And after the earthquake there was a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire. (1 Kings 19:11 – 12) The noise of the rushing wind rests on its destructive violence towards the stones and towards the food of the fire. It is the wind of judgment, but the wind of absence, of non – presence, of a chaos that makes one read only what is necessary.’ – Filippo Sorcinelli
