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.

tree of life

This morning
I was wrapped up in him
A tangle of roots and branches
Twigs, leaves, dry, red, yellow, green and pungent humus
We wove each other down into the rich earth
and lifted ourselves upwards towards an open sky
entwined with vines, bursting with shoots
and within we were burning brighter than any star
cool, fresh, live with sap
diffuse with air
