and in the flowers and clouds and stars. Martin Luther
The Liquidambar or Sweetgum Tree in Fall and Winter Two days ago, November 10 in 1483 (worded to emphasize the ever-present past) Martin Luther was born. Reading about him inspired me to write another poem. Here are two poems, old and new, in that order, in his honor~
Reformation
Hope has two beautiful daughters.
Their names are anger and courage—
anger at the way things are, and courage to see
that they do not remain the way they are.
Augustine of Hippo
It’s a simple thing.
When I survived the storm,
having promised God
to become a priest, I did.
Then I began to see abuses
which disgusted me.
One by one, I named them,
nailed them on the church door.
The churchly princes did not like
my telling the world the truth about them.
They honored me by declaring me an outlaw,
which, of course, gave me many followers
I had not counted on. I said of the princes,
“To hell with them,” and rejoined myself
to the peasant prince of peace.
I said to the warring princes in gold and
laced brocade, I no longer belong to you.
I am no longer a citizen of your country.
You have no right over my person
to deny me, denounce me or burn me.
laced brocade, I no longer belong to you.
I am no longer a citizen of your country.
You have no right over my person
to deny me, denounce me or burn me.
You did not listen when I was among you.
What you do now is none of my concern
so long as it does no further harm to me,
but be herewith warned~
I do not think the Prince of Peace
I do not think the Prince of Peace
will like you much for harming any of his own.
And so may each one be justified by faith alone,
but judged by word and deed.

The True Original Meaning of Luther’s Reformation
Who loves not woman, wine and song
remains a fool his whole life long.
Martin Luther
Sweet Martin, so smart and talented yet tortured by pompous
idiots allergic to dissent, you knew the right way to live,
which was to make love and sing and yes, drink wine and
be cheerful, so you at forty-one helped smuggle a beautiful
young nun out of the convent in a pickled fish barrel and
married her, celebrated the joy of sex and made six children
together, grew gardens, rejoiced in the glorious colors
of vegetables, let juices of plum and tomato roll down
your chins, sank your teeth into corn with oodles
of sweet cream butter, delighted in the multiverses of each
other’s smooth firm bodies, and learned to love your own
bodily existence as well, even as passion matured into
compassion while time sagged around the edges of your faces
and created soft folds in your beloved's body and your own,
you loved them both the more gratefully and tenderly—

you loved them both the more gratefully and tenderly—
And today as then, nobody understands what you meant
when you simply insisted that people stop trying to buy
their way into heaven by using money for indulgences
as substitutes for spontaneous and disciplined genuine acts
of unselfish love, that flow from the soul without regard
to self-interest—

And what you meant by “faith alone,” referring to Paul’s
Letter to the Romans, was not trying to earn your way
into heaven by proving to God that you blindly,
unintelligently believed the works without question,
but rather, either way, whether through unselfish or
even occasionally selfish acts of love, or by living in
unselfconsciously buoyant awareness and wonderment
with Holy Mystery, you should be utterly yourself
as best you can, and not give a thought to reward
for your ego on Earth or anywhere Else.

communion on the lip of the labyrinth
cathedral that houses the birthing gown

of the Mother of Christ, and the Holy Well.
For the other, a street person
dancing on a bridge near Notre Dame—
to music that comes
from a miniature house on wheels
which she draws along like a shadow
before or after her, with its colorful flowers,
like a dog on a leash— dancing on the bridge
between heaven and hell
between heaven and hell
in beatific madness.
In perfect union
the mind returns
to its senses,
finds its voice
in the stillness
of the Rose.

The Word is reborn in her grace,
and the world breathes
with more ease, accepting what is.

It’s Never Too Late
to Begin
Every human bond,
whether with a person
of any species— that is,
an organic living being—
or with something whose life
is mysterious and secretly self-defined
such as a mountain or star—
or an image or an idea
or a being outside of time,
a dweller in realms of mind
or an inhabitant of spirit—
a task or place or project,
or an object that occupies
a space in time and heart or mind—
every bond has its own
landscape
mythscape
inscape/escape
soulscape
and is a place of possibility
to infinity, including
the possibility of ending.
If endings come, retreat
to some chosen, known
haven, a healing place
where you are known and
never (or rarely and benevolently) judged—
a place where you are loved
beyond your own powers to love
yourself or sometimes others—
And in that place of befriending,
whether friendship or flowerscape,
innerscape or dreamscape or meaningplace
of work, or in the floral-colored waves of ocean
or many-mountained forest light and darkness—
enter the beautiful rooms in the house of your soul.
Learn by being there
what peace can be,
what love can come
to the quiet heart,
how well your soul
can feel in unmolested
circumstance and solitude,
and how deeply and fully
and eventually, happily,
you can become yourself again,
or perhaps for the first time.

Two days from now on November 14 in 1840, the Master of Impressionism Claude Monet was born. Who is not inspired by the beauty he brought forth to make our eyes happy and our souls rejoice?

Photograph of Monet's Vegetable Garden
"Avant Garden" by Derek Fell
Claude Monet
ate his garden with all
his senses, cooked up feasts
with flowering hands and made
soul paintings of his flowers —
lost his vision in old age
for a sad time but was given
second sight by surgery, and then —
he began to paint with a clarity
and intensity befitting the strongest
herbs, most fertile of color
and form unlike anything before —
bowers of rainbow roses
and viridian blessed iris,
shimmering lavender pools
and designs of raw grace
without rules, altogether
unselfed, celebratory
and aware —
Monet was painting Heaven
even before going there.

The Puzzling Act is Solved
The painter gives away
the last remnant
of his physical life
with his wife
with his own hand,
consigning her sacred letters
one by one to the fire.
It is not to deny her existence
or erase their marriage,
but to create on the white canvas
of his future a new marriage,
which is now entirely spiritual
and solely within his own body
of work.

Hanging Ode by Anne Shams
Pain passes but beauty remains.
Renoir to Matisse
The Beloved dies.
He ceases to live
in his art, and therefore,
his life. He reads her
letters of thirty years
until each word
is burned into his heart.
Then he gives
the letters to fire.
How can he do it?
He no longer paints—
but when he erases
evidence of her physical life
he forgets that his soul has died,
and he begins again—
resurrecting her through
painting water lilies, irises,
a rainbow of different colored roses
cascading along the branches
of a single tree. The more he forgets
to remember her earthly beauty
the more he translates it, fine stroke
to broad brushwork, into many,
many growing gardens.

In the world there are people who sometimes
write a good letter, tell a good story, doodle,
paint, play with clay, sing, play a musical
instrument, cook beautifully, make lovely
things with their minds or hands

It is likely that they have already
experienced some soul-bending loss.
When your life has been ripped away
from you and you are unmoored,
lost, confused between day and night
and have no outlet but screaming,
weeping or numbness— there is only
one thing you can do before you start
loving and living again—
become an artist.

In 1908 you began to lose
the colors, mirrors of light, the purples loosened
their hold on the iris, the blues faded to gray.
Four years later the cataract came down in diagnosis,
a curtain that veiled you from the world you longed for,
could not touch for another decade and more.
You increased the color, though it was all dark,
you poured more over the sepia-tinged amorphous
You increased the color, though it was all dark,

cans of paint directly on huge canvases, making
the night- bleeding heavy irises extend off the borders
of your soul in an outcry for vision. That tiny portion
of the work you allowed the world to have gave
an impression of power, but your vitality went
into anger, and what the world actually saw was
the text of distress, reading itself loudly and raw
onto the shaking surface of every day’s effort.

and siphoning life from your art, forcing you
to compensate with sheer physicality and
the feverish beauty buried
in the chemistry of colors.
Only after, when you finally recovered from surgery,
were you able again to move heaven into earthly music,
embody the unearthly colors of angels’ wings in the flowers
that bloomed in your garden and dreams, and then
everything you touched sang again.

Très Joli, Monsieur Monet
In 1920 you still filled
the whole canvas with color~~
in ‘25, less and less,
and finally before your death
in ‘26 we see so much
space opening up all around
and between, aging white
canvas barely beckoning us
deeper into infinite
unpaintable color and pure
light through the windows
of your second sight.
Tonight at the museum
a tall blond woman
walked through the last room
of your last paintings
and said, “That’s pretty,”
passing a whole spring
child’s play countryside
of coiling colored wisteria,
yellow and mauve irises,
bright viridian and purple
pewter, bronzed shadows
of magenta iris almost
invisibly emerging into
another dimension~~
and finally, The Roses~~
the roses! where perhaps
she did not have time to see
the goddess Iris herself
announcing such Good News,
the Gospel of Living Color
from the miraculous bush
with rainbow bright cobalt,
plum, intense pink roses,
all on the same magical branch
like a heavenly menorah, like
a trumpet blast from the burning
blue feathers of seraphim, fanning
out such greenfire sweetness,
and the hot coral flames
at deep center.

"The
theme represented on this jade boulder, the largest piece of jade carving
outside of China, refers to an event that occurred on March 3 in the lunar
calendar of 353. Wang Xizhi (303-361), a scholar official and one of the most
esteemed Chinese calligraphers of all time, together with 41 renowned scholars
and officials, gathered at Lanting or Orchid Pavilion in Shaoxing (in
present-day Zhejiang province), celebrating the Spring Purification Festival.
The scholars engaged in a drinking contest: Wine cups were floated down a small
winding creek as the men sat along its banks; whenever a cup stopped, the man
closest to the cup was required to empty it and write a poem. In the end, 26 of
the participants composed 37 poems. Wang Xizhi was asked to write an
introduction to the collection of these poems. Written in semi-cursive script
and known as Preface to the Poems Composed at the Orchid Pavilion
(transcribed on the top of the mountain by the Qianlong Emperor), it is
the
best known and most copied calligraphic work in art history. While the
mountain
image alone is enough to convey a close association between the jade
sculpture
and many painted landscapes, the Qianlong Emperor's seal and poem carved
at the
top on the other side of the boulder reinforces the idea of the jade
mountain as
a three-dimensional landscape painting." Text from the Minneapolis
Institute of Arts as shown on Arts Connected~ Tools for Teaching the

Redemption is so many things—
getting back what one’s lost
is its basic meaning.
How this happens is endless,
filling the possibility waves

of the story of everything—
Redeeming the lost energy
that returns with forgiveness.
Redeeming potential obscured by distress.
Redeeming meaningful work lost to illness.
Redeeming stature pressed down by abuse.
Redeeming one’s core self, lost
to obsession, resentment and grief.
Redeeming freedom stolen by fear.
Redeeming beauty from blindness,
grace from the night and stars from our tears.
Redemption is waking from the past
to discover the sun, over and over
and over again.

Holy Trinity icon, Andrei Rublev
between 1408-25
Rublev
One day, God walked in, pale from the grey steppe,
slit-eyed against the wind, and stopped,
said, Colour me, breathe your blood into my mouth.
I said, Here is the blood of all our people,
these are their bruises, blue and purple,
gold, brown, and pale green wash of death.
These (god) are the chromatic pains of flesh,
I said, I trust I shall make you blush,
O I shall stain you with the scars of birth
For ever, I shall root you in the wood,
under the sun shall bake you bread
of beechmast, never let you forth
To the white desert, to the starving sand.
But we shall sit and speak around
one table, share one food, one earth.

Rowan Williams (since 2013, Baron Lord Williams of Oystermouth, MP for life) was the Archbishop of Wales where he was born and raised from 1999-2002, when he became the Archbishop of Canterbury until he stepped down in 2012. He studied theology at Christ's College, Cambridge, and graduated Doctor of Philosophy from Wadham College, Oxford in 1975. He was ordained to the diaconate at Ely Cathedral in 1977 and to the priesthood in 1978. He was Bishop of Monmouth (Wales) before he became Archbishop of Wales. He is now Master of Magdalene College, Cambridge. His biography describes him as an Anglican bishop, poet and theologian. I would describe him as poet, priest and scholar.
