water

clear waves, splashing dance

holding tight and sucking might

emerging life, disturbing earth

washing souls, cleansing bod's:

you are sister to a thousand moods

offering gifts and myriad goods

*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

  -One can justify everything.  Dialectic, too, can offer consolation and help us to sleep peacefully.  But how can it mask illusion?  The Christian prejudice, in the West as everywhere else, has been to instruct - that is, to cram things in, as if filling a hole, in the manner of national educational examiners, instead of e-ducate, to help something grow, to give birth to new life, to encourage the inner person.  Genuine education implies a process of stripping away, forgetting established mental categories and having confidence in a word that speaks through every race and ends up joining with the Word. 

  -Deprived of its regionalistic conditioning - of that tiny region called Europe - Christianity might be more capable of worldwide diffusion, without any idea of conquest.
