Fire and Rose are One

There is no greater love than the love the wolf feels for the lamb-it-doesn’t-eat.
Hélène Cixous

There is an invisible world
out there, and we are living in it.
~ BILL VIOLA, VIDEO ARTIST

“… We shall not cease from exploration
And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
Through the unknown, remembered gate
When the last of earth left to discover
Is that which was the beginning;
At the source of the longest river
The voice of the hidden waterfall
And the children in the appletree
Not known, because not looked for
But heard, halfheard, in the stillness
Between two waves of the sea.
Quick now, here, now, always-
A condition of complete simplicity
(Costing not less than everything)
And all shall be well and
All manner of thing shall be well
When the tongues of flame are infolded
Into the crowned knot of fire
And the fire and the rose are one…”

~ “Four Quartets is a set of four poems written by T. S. Eliot who’s theme is man's relationship with time, the universe, and the divine. Eliot blends his Anglo-Catholicism with mystical, philosophical and poetic works from both Eastern and Western religious and cultural traditions, with references to the Bhagavad-Gita and the Pre-Socratics as well as St. John of the Cross and Julian of Norwich.”
