Call and response – we see it in so many areas of life. For the jazz musician, one instrument puts out the call, and another instrument in the band provides a response. Or a singer on stage sings a line and points the microphone to the crowd, who respond with the next line.

Then you have the Australian chant that is apparently an adaptation of a 1960s Cornish Oggy, Oggy Oggy. With the Australian call of Aussie and the response of Oi – which should not be a statement about our intellectual capacity or our originality.

But if God were to issue a call, how would you respond?

There is something fascinating about paintings. While many are WYSIWYG, others demonstrate that there is more going on than immediately meets the eye of the observer. Take, for instance, Salvador Dali’s Crucifixion (Corpus Hypercubus) with Jesus crucified on a tesseract, with Dali’s wife Gala depicted looking on, but is also seen on one of the knees, while Dali is represented on the other.
Then there’s Rembrandt’s Christ in the Storm, and after carefully counting the number of people in the boat, you discover a 14th person looking back at you – the artist’s depiction of himself.
And without becoming conspiratorial, what if – what if there is more to this life than meets the eye? Would you be willing to look in?
