Josef, your word-weavings here are soul-touching in their beauties and energies....they and you have been part of this morning's break-fast and the sun's rising over the Susquehanna. More to add later, I rather expect... Namaste'....

Josef --- loved the take you have on this ----- excellent!
ReplyDeleteA little bit of it reminds me of Cesar Vallejo's
Un hombre esta mirando a una mujer -- Cesar Vallejo
A man is looking at a woman
at this very moment he studies her . . .
sees her two hands, her breasts, her two shoulders;
questions himself, as his heart presses against his strong, white rib.
This man has no child who might grow into a father,
this woman no child whose sex might be apparent. . .
Although I do see a child now – a centipede child,
passionate, energetic,
I realize that they don't see it,
standing between the two of them, wriggling, dressing itself . . .
I accept them.
I accept her more and more;
I accept him as I would a clean joint of a wisp of clean hay –
and then I call out to them.
-- translation Braymer and Lowenfels

Stunningly close to my heart, thank you. I felt similar deep primal

Longing added to the collective.

This is simply to let you know that someone has been reading your latest two entries. It is dense difficult stuff - requires more concentration than I can sustain for long - and worth the effort.
ReplyDeleteI was moved by your sharing from your journal at the end. I have been through the same in the now distant past, but never took it to that depth.
Josef, on a level where my words cannot do justice, you have communicated with me. Thanks for your essay, I enjoyed it much.

I have come back to this passage often, each time with a different reason. Your words pull stories, memories, gently from my heart. This time I returned because I remembered your mention of Sophia. I too kneel before her and ask for her grace, Our Lady of Insight, for her aid in finding my way. I thank you for invoking her presence so well.
ReplyDeleteWhat a different topic? Absolutely you are correct about relationship. I feel that, relationship is strong with love. If love is broken then no relationship is their...
