The first word

The first word was purely sound,
sent around the world, creating
a universe so perfectly dancing we
cannot perceive the strings that
bound all and everything together.

The first word was purely sound,
spoken to the child, waiting
in the womb so perfectly fitting we
cannot perceive the spirit that
bound all and everything together.

The first word was purely sound,
blown to the lover, feeling
oneself with each other completing we
cannot perceive the soul that
bound all and everything together.

The first word was purely sound,
born into music, sounding
in words of poets and prophets we
cannot perceive the power that
bound all and everything together.

An excellent first word, and work!

Reminds me of the Music of Ainur. Sadly, Melkor's voice unbalanced all and we are left with dialecticism, the drama of comparisons and contrasts dealing with consequentialist doctrines. Are actions to judged by their (intended) affects rather than adherence to some standard of morals? Or shall we take the path of the Ainur and embrace deontologist morals where actions are judged based upon adherence to some standard of morals rather than (intended) affects. It's an endless balancing act...

Life moves in time, bound by matter, and the "matter of life is death" to quote the Marques de Sade. Melkor would agree. Are they correct? Shall we ponder Jean-Paul Marat and Peter Weiß? Ontology and the perceptions of power (and the abuse thereof), guilt, the horrors of revolution and war, and the omnipresent philosophical question of “do the end justify the means” are the topics Weiß deals with in Marat/Sade. Sophocles posited some of much the same in Electra, circa 410BCE. The Classical Greek view is further expounded later in the Roman era by poet Ovid, “the result justifies the deed,” in Heroides, circa 10 BCE. But I ramble on and helix back upon my self, but that is dialectic! 8-) I too am hammered and tired... This semester is killin' me! But, as you can see, I have returned to teh Classics as you encourage.

Anyway, excellent theatre that, both Electra and Marat/Sade, though hammering through Koine Greek and Deutch is hard goin' for me! Ovid writes some intriguing stuff too. Read that in the Latin. So much is lost if not experienced in the original language. Blast, rambling again...

Well if you have not read Marat/Sade or Electra, or Ovid, do! The human condition is theatre and theatre is human condition and the medium is the human BEING! Wish you could see me in Doubt as Father Flynn!

Lovely, positive first words to enlighten the Dark Matter Marie. Kudos! Great title for a blog too. ;-)
