redbrick commented on: A Gay Priest by ramonathompsont 1 year 3 weeks* ago* All at once this poem leans: All at once this poem leans into reflection, tension, and quiet trepidation, like an echo spoken softly but firmly into the same cathedral air and as quickly as an exhaled breath, the offered thought disappeard into our own. Brings to mind a "Stand by Me" experience we had one summer just before middle schoool started. Hope it shall be read in like spirit. [ go to comment ]

S74r5p4r3d commented on: Singing Lotus by patriciajj 1 year 3 weeks* ago* While this is a poem from: While this is a poem from which all readers can receive benefits, this is a poem that will most minister to those who have experienced the loss of "sixty-some summers." (The number is not literal.) I thought I had lost sixty-three summers. Then I remembered what the Thief on the Cross asked of Jesus, at a waning moment, when the Cross's dire work on Jesus' body was at its peak of acceleration, and the Romans would soon be approaching to break the thief's legs. The thief asked to be remembered. And we know how Jesus answered him (Luke 23). The loss "sixty-some summers" (a brilliant phrase) is answered by remembrance. I speak from practical experience. The remembering cannot be like cheap tourism. The remembering must seek patterns, connections, and parallels---aspects once hidden to us, but now revealed by experiential wisdom. She writes " it’s now so comically clear . . ." And comedy need not mean zany slapstick, or stand-up dirty jokes, but the austere Comedy meant by Dante when he named his long poem, Comedia. The cosmic reach of remembering "sixty-some summers" is no less dramatic and salvific than the three huge Canticles written by the great Italian. [ go to comment ]
