RENEWAL REVIVAL REJUVENATION
Renewal, revival, rejuvenation, all mean returning to replenish to the primal source of life, of viviification.
"To the place, My God, where we met thee" are the lyrics to a song that celebrates a blessed reunion .
Contemplation of the vastness and wondrousness of nature assumes necessarily a meditation on origin.
The most prescient and sentient among us have recognized that such meditation, contemplation is too much for the conscious mind, for the logical mind. Another gear needs engagement, another sense needs deployment, to attempt to discern, even cosmetically, the cosmos, eternity, the domain of divinity, and our place in infinity.
Such we salute in song, art, myth, megaliths, law, religion, family, music, mathematics, science, poetry, food, festival, education, technology, farming, sailing, prayer.
