He is in his dance a model for me before God and also in his failures before God too. So too the dervishes of Islam, the poet of Persia, Hafiz, and the followers of Bhakti yoga in India. Buddha, though he started as royalty, divested himself and he too was basically naked in the forest. If we cannot express joy, then where is the juice to go? It is in this spirit I am called as poet and write of the human condition as if it were itself sacred.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-66274462393905610432014-01-13T09:58:08.774-08:002014-01-13T09:58:08.774-08:00And you have assisted me just now, David is a patt...And you have assisted me just now, David is a pattern, of course. We know this as basic to Christology as it is handled these days - that David foreshadows the Christ and is one facet of the image likeness. Thus we can forecast not only Jesus in David, literally His ancestor, but as well then the core of ourselves as well. We too are of royal blood. We too can be called to the mystical dance out of that heritage, which is certainly ours, one facet of our Holy space. And as well we are the wise men who can criticize such foolishness as inappropriate to our responsibility. The tension in it is ours as well, All three facets, the fool's joy, the wise caution, and the living tension are holy and true to life on the planet.christopherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201537517464996231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2377252801421681569.post-54384847774019599572014-01-13T08:39:11.266-08:002014-01-13T08:39:11.266-08:00I find myself afflicted by an inability to put wor...I find myself afflicted by an inability to put words to what is floating around my mind about religion, dancing, and various allusions to the Christ as a dancing saviour. Having said that, there is something beautifully earthy, natural, and yet mystical about your poem. I find it a delight.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09028121782477111901noreply@blogger.com
