The Saga of Amethyst Poetry / Part Eight: Finding Another Language

     Our inner light comes in nuances, and according to our heart’s level of surrender. As in a style of impressionistic painting, the artist finds it not important to reproduce what he sees according to its outer context – he instinctively knows the inner context is the thing to grasp – he sacrifices the outer natural form for the abstraction; for a diffusing of the beauty he sees within it.  It all flows together; but, it is revealed only little by little. He instinctively dissolves the forms in his painting so that they cannot be too easily perceived by the outer self; which all too quickly judges and discards; he would be known only in that most holy place within where was no judgment, only wonder. Like the abstract painter, the inner writer finds another language. Inadvertently he stumbles upon another way of communicating truth. Another place where the emotions, which were renewed by surrender, could ‘read’ words they could not understand, but which would stir the spirit, deep within.
