Poetry
Poetry helps make life bearable. -Horace
Spirituality
embraces the arts: music, dance, painting, sculpture, and poetry.
Poetry breathes life into a word. Because it uses metaphors and various
figures of speech it can say more than a mere description, and we need
this when talking about God-when affirming Spirit.Here is an example
from the Gospel of Thomas: The disciples said to Jesus, "Tell us what
the Kingdom of Heaven is like." He replied, "It is like a mustard seed,
the smallest of all. However, when it falls into worked ground it sends
out a large stem, and it becomes a shelter for the birds of heaven." Our
responsibility is to work the ground.
I prepare the ground for Spirit to enter my life.
