Recognized
Posted on Saturday, July 19th, 2008
I still remember fifty years ago seeing the three questions carved above the altars of a Jesuit seminary — where did I come from, why am I here, and where am I going. These last few days, I have been thinking again about the answers. Perhaps, a rereading — there have been several — of Kazantzakis’ Zorba The Greek influenced my reflection. Here is the poem:
“Recognized”
Whither is a region
Shadow dark where hardly
Distinguishable we roam
Unknown — one without another.
Here consciousness seeds us
Awash in soul-color splash,
Life-light dazzles blazes
That radiate – beckon
Through a portal spiral
Swirl dance melody love
Amidst eternal pulsing time,
Now recognized yet one.
