Why Original Participants?

Original Participants comes from the term "Original Participation" coined by Owen Barfield. I was introduced to the philosophy of Barfield in a class taught by Jefferey Taylor at Metropolitan State College of Denver and was immediately hooked. I am a graduate student now at the Medieval Institute at WMU and still find myself analyzing much of what I learn through Barfield's paradigm of evolution of consciousness. The blog is a space for me to write out thoughts and papers, which all have the common thread of dealing with that topic. I also post some of my poetry because poetry is always about evolution of consciousness. Please feel free to comment.

Anniversary

Once a year, on our anniversary, I write my wife a poem.  I wrote another one this year and I thought I would post it.  Enjoy!


Darkly, darkly move my eyes,
Always up to see her smile.
Resonance in dim and bright,
Binds our hearts that little while.

Slowly, slowly move my hands.
Starlight’s happy gleam could not
Half so gently touch her face,
Tracing shades of passion wrought.

Closer, closer moves her mouth.
Whispered kisses drop their sound,
Falling incandescent down,
Lay there glowing on the ground.

Sweetly, sweetly moves our hymn,
Sacred, unvoiced strains of night
Rise above the Earth so dark,
Meets with smiling heaven’s light.
