The candle lit.
The altar built.
Eyes fixed
upon the empty page.
Space made sacred.
Self stripped naked.
Burn me to ashes,
Great Catabolism,
Let a son be the sun,
for a moment, Oh
Radiant Anabolism,
of the bodyless body.
The flicker of the candle whispers:
“Make the self sacred,
you will be salt in
a glass of water.”
“Now drink from the cup,
taste the waveless ocean.”
“Let its winds exhale
through your lungs
And the sacred,
be breathed
into the world
of men,
once more.”
That which can be clearly explained…can be kind of boring! 😉 love these meanderings through the forest.
lovely...reminds me of this line from Sunstone (Paz):
there is nothing inside me but a large wound,
a hollow place where no one goes,
a windowless present, a thought that returns
and repeats itself, reflects itself,
and loses itself in its own transparency,
a mind transfixed by an eye that watches
it watching itself till it drowns itself
in clarity
I am curious whether you have been in dialogue with Peter Limburg
nope, not since my Stoa session last year -- should I be?
I don’t know. I just caught an intuition.
The both of you to me seem a complementary pair in yin / yang, soul / spirit dimensions.
