Romantic Notions?

(Way too philisophical today)

If I could live in another era.....(I probably would have been burned at the stake. However...)

When the world still held mystery

When anything was possible

When the uncovering, unveiling of all HIS creativity was still fresh, still vibrant...

Now marred by time and 'knowledge'

Now shrouded in the darkness of 'enlightenment'

Now all colour washed out by 'science'

Anaemic, drained of the rich life blood of the supernatural, the divine

Eyes blinded by 'proof' and 'reality'

Seeing is believing

"What is seen is temporary, what is unseen is eternal."

Cynical, skeptical modern minds.

"Will I find faith on the earth?"

We're too civilized, too sure of space and time and matter

Boiled down to animal instincts and animal reasoning

Nothing more than mere chance and amoeba and molecules

"Faith is the substance of things hoped for and the evidence of things unseen."

We live and then we die and then nothingness

"Where, O, Death is your victory, Where, O, Death is your sting?"

But hark. What light through yonder window breaks?

Could it be spiritual hunger, is it eyes of faith that once again see the unseen realm in HIS creation?

Marvelling at all His hand has made?

Awakening to the invisible through the haze of the visible?

"I set eternity in their hearts."

A Renaissance of Revelation, a True 'Enlightenment'

Filtered through a new lens: Postmodern

"I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh."

Messy, chaotic revival of superstition

Ah, but with it a revival of faith for the supernatural

"Let the tares grow up with the wheat."
