Also, in case anyone is curious, there is no such place as Balisglade. I made up the word entirely, and if there is such a place it is by chance. [/quote] What did you connect with my poem?? I gathered that it related to Gullom. Not really, It's all silly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Laudate_Dominum Posted August 20, 2004 Share Posted August 20, 2004 [quote name='picchick' date='Aug 20 2004, 10:36 AM'] What did you connect with my poem?? I gathered that it related to Gullom. Not really, It's all silly. [/quote] hehe, oh I can't really explain it because the connections I made were too vague. It was more an intimation or intuition regarding the deeper meaning. hehe [quote]I love a tree.[/quote] I took the tree which you love to represent Christ, the whole Christ, body and head to use Paul's language, or vine and branches to use Our Lord's. I interpreted the tree symbol in this way, Christ the trunk and us the branches, and the part that goes under the earth being the total transcendence of Christ's Divinity in the Godhead. [quote]It's beauty is free.[/quote] This to me is a phrase which hints at the connection between beauty and freedom. Not in a metaphysical sense per se but in a more experiential or subjective sense. The beauty of Christ, in the experience of communion with Christ as a christian, radiates the renewing Spirit which makes us truly free. I can't really explain it. If I were to attempt it from a different perspective I might relate beauty to the Holy Spirit which is the Spirit of Christ and of His Mystical Body. The experience of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit, as members of Christ, is captured well as radiating beauty, and this aesthetic encounter touches the deepest center of the soul and comminicates to it the Peace of Christ which sets us free. [quote]It holds the key. To all that needs to be.[/quote] This statement had a two-fold interpretation for me. On the one hand Christ, the definitive Theophany, is the Principle of order, meaning and the end of all that was made. On the other hand no one comes to the Father but through Him, so this sharing in Christ, in the indwelling of the Spirit is the key which unlocks to us all that needs to be (or all that necessarily exists, the ultimate reason for existence as such), namely God Himself. I will stop here because I believe the next half of the poem shifts into a different symbolic mode, which nonetheless highlights the preceding themes and expresses something more particular and personal about the experience of the poet. hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
