| What if the entire world were a poem, and each life a line of poetry? |
| "You gave me hyacinths first a year ago; They called me the hyacinth girl." -- yet when we came back, late, from the hyacinth garden, Your arms full and your hair wet, I could not Speak, and my eyes failed, I was neither Living nor dead, and I knew nothing, Looking into the heart of light, the silence. T S Eliot The Waste Land |
| Redemption through Resuscitation |
| Does poetry run in your blood? Does your heart beat with the rhythms of many a varied verse? Save your soul by saving the life of poetry. Today, our minds are alive, our bodies are functioning, but our souls are dead because materialism has replaced mysticism. We think, and think intelligently - but do not contemplate. We spend time but do not value it. We take advantage of our surroundings but do not respect them. As citizens of the contemporary world, we want only success and security - but do not know what the words actually mean. That is why our souls are dead. Poetry can change all this because it forces us to reflect on the nature of life. It gives us new perspectives on old things. It highlights the extraordinary within the ordinary. It brings mysticism back into our existence - thus redeeming our souls and putting meaning back into our materialistic lives. Poetry, however, can accomplish all this only if it lives. And only YOU can save its life by lending a helping hand, and sharing with it some of the fruits of your success.
