Imagine a tradition….

Imagine a tradition

Of Light and Being,

Parmenides’ poem’ To On

Luminous, enlightening, but never alone,

guiding through clarity of recognition.

Imagine a tradition

of Life and Becoming,

Heraclitus’ ever-living flame,

Intimate, Eros, embodied as desire,

unfolding and becoming, evolution.

Imagine a tradition

of Love and Belonging.

Empedocles’ binding philotēs,

Ritual and poiesis, always agential,

a participatory dance, world-making together.

Imagine a tradition

Of Light, Love, and Life.

Pythagoras, Proclus, triadic harmony:

Attention, Action, and Awareness,

A triune trika song of the three.

Imagine a tradition

of Liberation and Beyond,

Damascius’ freedom of apophasis:

Ineffable. Ekstasis. Holy(shit) Mystery!

Reality erupts – unspeakable, unknowable, undone.

Imagine a tradition,

Not the solitude of the One,

Not all my relations,

Nor communion as the Many.

Just you, me, and This Spiritual Life.
