JAREN ZESTIG VAN
DE VORIGE EEUW: ISRAËL
IN ALLE ZEER BONTE OPZICHTEN
SINDS VELE MILLENNIA. VANDAAR OOK
DAT HEEN EN WEER GELOOP EN GELIFT TOT
EN MET HET ANDERE ´EINDE´
VAN DE WERELD?
Gefascineerd
door geschiedenis
in haar ozo veelzijdige facetten,
details, hoofdlijnen, ontmoetingen & ´t daarbij
behorend herkauwen
& opbouwen...
´n Kwestie
van lezen, schrijven,
beleven & ´voortgaan´ op die ontelbare paden via herschikken
en ´overzichtelijk´ blijven bezoeken, arrangeren, vergelijken èn er al puzzelend
mee blijven spelen
tot het einde
der dagen

M.d.a. DaBo & UrDa:
Interrogate My Love! As
long as I can remember I have been
in love with some manifestations of ¨Popular Christianity¨,
not always ones that my friends would themselves love or even approve!
Tennessee Ernie Ford singing on tv the hymn ¨The Garden¨ moved me to tears when I was a child!
For an oddly gendered teenager, Saint Francis, the Sissy, proved an incredibly tantalizing figure of a man. Later on it was medieval Christian art and architecture, the cathedrals of Europe, the spirituality of Meister Eckhart and Jacob Böhme. Still later, and more significantly, it has been the writings of the Fathers of the Church {and their excluded others, the Christian heretics}
that have been most riveting for me,
pulling me into a world
so close to that
of my own beloved Rabbis
of late antiquity and yet so foreign as well,
a world in which oceans of ink (and rivers of blood)
could be spilt on questions of detail in the description of the precise
relationships between the posited persons of a complex godhead, a world,
as well, in which massive numbers of men and women couls choose freely and enthusiastically
to live lives without the pleasures of sex and the joys of family. I find this world endlessly moving and alluring, even when at its most bizarre to me.
Katamon, Eilat, Herzeliya, Yodfat
& countless other stations
seem closer to me
after all than Erika & Vledder:
the whole Middle East ´more real´ than
Reformations & colonial ages far & near since I don´t know when.
I even go on dreaming
about it
