Well, I'm fond of the Taoist aphorism, "God is that which never acts yet leaves nothing undone." Which I interpret to mean that God provides the potential whereby things exist and events happen. This kind of "dynamic stillness" is not, IMO, exactly the same as immobility.

I kind of imagined that some of the pagans or polytheists on my friend's list might speak up, because they are the only people I know who's theology would be almost completely incompatible with Eckhart's statement.
