From ontotheological (trinito-logical) is-ness to theopoetic (trinito-phanic) dance-ness?

YES!!!
Regarding perichoresis, Rohr has spoken and written rather extensively regarding divine
interpenetration and indwelling, all in delity to its patristic etymological roots. Of course
its not uncontroversial to univocally predicate
such a perichoretic dynamism of persons, both divine and imago Dei, but its eminently
defensible.
What's not defensible, though, is the presupposition that Rohr's use of dance imagery
was grounded in philological warrant, though, rather than metaphorical effectiveness,
which was precisely LaCugna's position.
As it is, again, the apophatic and theopoetic evocation of perichoresis refers to a
relational reality and not an ontotheological modeling attempt. The dance metaphor thus
belongs to Rohr's trinito-phany and is not over against classical trinito-logy. As such, it
doesn't tell us how to think about the immanent Trinity in terms of essence, but how to
experience the economic Trinity in terms of divine energies (or other psalmodic not
philosophic metaphors). Rohr's inviting us into a robustly relational, contemplative,
mystical experience and not rewriting classical trinitarian formulae.
