The Sarabite: Towards an Aesthetic Christianity

There is a continuous attraction, beginning with God, going to the world, and ending at last with God, an attraction which returns to the same place where it began as though in a kind of circle. -Marsilio Ficino

On the Occasion of a Wedding...


For F. and R.

Renaceré Yo

Renaceré yo piedra,
y aún te amaré mujer a ti.

Renaceré yo viento,
y aún te amaré mujer a ti.

Renaceré yo ola,
y aún te amaré mujer a ti.

Renaceré yo fuego,
y aún te amaré mujer a ti.

Renaceré yo hombre,
y aún te amaré mujer a ti.


-Juan Ramón Jiménez

La estación total
(Canciones de la nueva luz)


(I Shall Be Reborn

I shall be reborn a rock,
And still woman I shall love you.

I shall be reborn as wind,
And still woman I shall love you.

I shall be reborn as wave,
And still woman I shall love you.

I shall be reborn as fire,
And still woman I shall love you.

I shall be reborn a man,
And still woman I shall love you.)

Since Michael is the patron saint of those getting married--the Archangels do thank you for the poetry.
Although everyone forgets my brother Raphael until they get sick.

This better be metaphorical and not some Rumi based Sufi poetry or a belief in transmigration of souls a la Plato or less so Origen. No heterodoxy here even with your multicultural posts (Multiculturalism from a SSPX seminarian, who was your professor?) or how everything is boiled down to some obscure Greek philosopher in mycsticism and philosophy too (the Greek charcoals are getting hot and not just for the lamb but for the pseudo iamblachus heretic roasting)--even the Orthodox Inquistor is trying to get you.
But at least you are honoring marriage and love so you may just get the rack.
Or maybe it is just metaphor, there is a Jesuit I know that claims that Plato did not believe in reincarnation per se but it was a metaphor--I think he is wrong but I cannot read the original Greeek--at least not well--and most Jesuits are heretics--some are probably teaching reincarnation.

I can only come back as what I know in this life--man--albeit flawed man--and love women--or, err--love a woman--love a woman and love a child and love a family and love children and love the future--that is not heresy
