Spring is Christ, Raising martyred plants from their shrouds. Their mouths open in gratitude, wanting to be kissed. The glow of the rose and the tulip means a lamp is inside. A leaf trembles. I tremble in the wind-beauty like silk from Turkestan. The censer fans into flame. This wind is the Holy Spirit. The trees are Mary.
The cure for pain is in the pain. Good and bad are mixed. If you don't have both, you don't belong with us.
Disputational knowing wants customers. It has no soul.
