hitch a white stork in flight

and fly to the edge of the clouds

passing through the yielding fluffs

to the horizon's untouchable home

touch eternity beginning to swell

far beyond the imaginings of the heart

and taste the longings of the carrier-stork

for the nest where rest is a must

know your arrival at the stepping-off place

where the stork lifts you with amazing grace

*The problem for Jesus is that we have made him a "religion" instead of someone we follow.

*One never kills the baby because someone else may abort it!

*Everything human-made has a fault-line; everything divine holds a mystery.

*Reflections of Jean Sulivan:

-The Greeks invented a monstrous theophany to express the invisible and we remain its victims far more than we think.  That race of architects and sculptors suffered from an exaggerated tendency to see things in terms of mirror images.  For them the temple was only a machine for looking at the world in order to cure it of contingency.  The Jews, in constrast, knew that the invisible has never been seen.  To see God is to die.  The God made visible is an idolatrous image.  That is why Jesus had to die, and after the resurrection had to go away in order that the Spirit might come and interiorize all things.

-We believe with gestures, steps, the whole body.

-The questions isn't how to teach but how to live.  Christianity doesn't exist in order to be known, and can be nothing but an intake of breath that will be quietly expelled, unless it temporarily creates slaves - those who simply recite the faith of others.  The Gospel can only be the expression of an oral tradition in the movement and song of life.  We don't teach anything to anyone; we only hand on that which gives us life.

-"The final flowering of the pedagogy of the rabbi-peasant Yeshoua of Nazareth, " he (Marcel Jousse) wrote, "is at the Last Supper, in the mime-drama of bread and wine where the teacher not only offers his teaching but himself as food and drink....  Here we have the most awesome expression of the primordial human mechanism."
