Description

For Circle of Light series: impressionistic flower form, radiating from intense color center into light and dark. Focus is on the burning coal center reflected upon in Thomas Merton's writing:....................For, like a grain of fire
Smoldering in the heart of every living essence
God plants His undivided power-
Buries His thought too vast for worlds
In seed and root and blade and flower
Until, in the amazing light of April�
Then every way we look, lo! rocks and trees
Pastures and hills and streams and birds and firmament
And our own souls within us flash, and shower us with light�
Clean, transforming fire�
***
Porque, como un grano del fuego
Ardiendo sin llama en el coraz�n de cada esencia viviente
Dios siembra Su poder no dividido-
Se entierra Su pensamiento demasiado abrumador por mundos
En semilla y ra�z y brizna y flor
Hasta, en la luz extraordinaria del Abril�
Entonces en cada mirada, �mira! rocas y arboles
Potreros y colinas y arroyos y p�jaros y firmamento
Y nuestras propias almas dentro de nosotros brillan, y nos colma con luz�
Fuego limpio, transformante�
�My heart was hot within me; while I was musing the fire burned; LORD, make me to know my end..� Psalm 39:3-4

�!el corazon me ardia en el pecho! Pensando en ello, un fuego se encendio dentro de mi, y dije entonces��Senor, hazme saber que fin tendre...� Salmos 39:3-4
(Figures for an Apocalypse, NY, New Directions, 1948; Thomas Merton Reader, NY: Doubleday, 1989, p.419-420)
