Drown in love

Drown in love, and you will taste eternity.

Drink the strangeness of this wine,

for love’s intoxication

is the path to true sobriety.

—Ayn al-Qudat Hamadani

Welcome

In this age of division and rigid dogma, what we need now are not more belief systems or a better theology, but imaginal fire: that which speaks to and touches the mystery of the heart and the depths of the soul.

Truth needs to resound in images, poetry, metaphor and song so that it can resonate through the whole of our being and lift us beyond narrowness of mind into the unity of sacred Spirit.

What you will see here are Lynn Bauman's translations of sacred poetry, accompanied by Diane Walker's iconic photographic collages. May our words and images draw you ever closer to the divine unity you seek.
