The Essence Of Language Poem by Liza Sud

I FELT THAT ITS JUST ONE POINT - You're not alone in this perception of spiritual unity. In his religious poem, Four Quartets, T.S.Eliot calls it The still point of the turning world. And all the ACTIONS of our lives are done to return to that point of NO ACTION. Eliot was a Christian but he wanted to find language that would be meaningful to Buddhists and Hindus as well. Your poem is so quiet and confident, there is no fear in your soul as you experience the breath of God, which is surely his saving grace, so you have created a safe place for multitudes to gather. I don't mean this in a literal way but figurative: it's symbolic of a reality yet to be revealed, which the saints can already experience in a mysterious way, but the rest of us cannot yet apprehend. That's the purpose of poetry and ritual: to foreshadow what's to come, as Dante does in The Divine Comedy. (There's one more point I want to make but I will save it for another day - a day when the birds are singing a new song in St. Paul and St. Petersburg, and you and I will understand perfectly what their song means.)
