His human emptiness grows like a monstrous grey plant. -- Jean Arp The study of literature today is deformation,. The meaning is not the word, but the meaning is the effect. In Hollywood they destroy the link between the writer and his subconscious and make him only a performer. -- Raymond Chandler

Soon Silence Will Have Passed into Oblivion. . . by Audra Skuodas Image: The green veil of nature hides a mystery beyond time and space. The withered leaf is not dead -- there are forces in it working in reverse order. As above -- so below. a training in attention is the essence of prayer. In the night in which we find ourselves only we can bring the concept of God and the Sacred back. The sacred draws its sustenance and its' originality from its' origin -- the renewing, inexhaustible sources of life -- the archetypal world of causes.

If we beat the body it has physical consequences and recoils in pain Countless children in America are spiritually malnourished, brutalized, mutilated and are psychically starving But no one notices until it is too late

Who is to offer a definition of the reflective the tender the beautiful and virtuous the sensitive and the sacred To that which is in them as well -- The creative in every being needs expression Positively or Destructively Reflectively or Reflexively It makes a difference which tools we use to forge or fashion a vessel -- you cannot fashion a fine vase with a spade, you cannot us a scythe for delicate refinement -- and you cannot inject meaning into numbers by sheer manipulation without understand their symbolic re-latedness.

Soon Silence Will Have Passed into Oblivion. . . by Audra Skuodas Image: "Do not go gently in that good night Rage, rage against the dying of the Light". -- Dylan Thomas Losing contact with our holiness and wholeness is the crux of the fall of man. The spirit in man is what binds him back to the cosmos. The body is not just formation, or re-incarnation -- it is manifestation. Spirit and body are interlocked by common roots, and cannot be torn apart as easily as the scent could be wrenched from the rose without destroying its nature. Neither can mind and spirit be abstracted and wrenched from the body without drastic dissolution. It is the intertangled atoms and their interactive play that the flame of sentience is born.
