Discoursing with an ancient sacred text

This blog is a philosophical exploration of the Song of Songs. My project explores a Cixousian (écriture féminine) encounter with biblical literature along subjective existential lines. In particular I am exploring life, meaningfulness, encounter and freedom as these contradict death, absurdity, separation and oppression. This discourse with the Song of Songs & other biblical texts seeks the critical moment that sparks transformation in the present.

The cavern of love

We took a bus early this morning down to En Gedi.  We walked up to Nahal David and then took a rickety path up the steep side of the wadi to the Dodim Cave ... the cave of lovers!!!  A beautiful peaceful pool and cave high above the lower waterfalls with a view over the Dead Sea (which was crystal blue) and a stunning glimpse of the mountains of Jordan.  Shulamit spring, cave of love, peace.
