MAKE ROOM

IN MEDIEVAL

JEWISH

MYSTICISM

THERE AROSE AN IDEA

THAT SINCE GOD WAS EVERYWHERE

HE HAD TO MAKE ROOM FOR HIS CREATION

SO A WORLD WAS CREATED

WHERE GOD WAS NOT

HE HAD TO BE INVITED IN

A LOGICAL THOUGHT

FOR A RACE

BRANDED CHRIST KILLERS

WHO COULD BE KILLED

WITH IMPUNITY

MUCH LIKE LYNCHINGS

IN THE STATES

THEY PRAYED FOR A MESSIAH TO COME

TO THEIR GODLESS EARTH

WITHOUT CONSIDERING

THE THEOLOGICAL IMPLICATIONS

IT’S AN INTERESTING CONCEPT

THAT CHRIST HAS TO BE ASKED

TO COME TO A WORLD

WHICH HE CREATED

THAT HE MUST BE INVITED IN

EVEN THOUGH HE LURKS BY

HE MUST BE INVITED IN

THE CREATURE MUST GIVE

THE CREATOR PERMISSION

OR NOT

GOD GAVE THE CREATURE

CREATION

TO RUN AS HE SAW FIT

TO MAKE HIS OWN MISTAKES

TO STRUGGLE

AND SUCCEED

TO MAKE HIS FATHER PROUD

TO FAIL

TO MAKE HIS FATHER SAD

TO SHUT

THE DOOR IN HIS FACE

MYSTICS

ARE LIKE POETS

THEY SEE THINGS THAT AREN’T THERE

IMAGES IN A CRACKED MIRROR

VISIONARIES OF WHAT COULD BE

SHOULD BE

FRAIL HUMANS

WHO THINK IN DREAMS

OF A LAND NOT REAL

BUT COULD BE

YOUR YOUNG MEN

WILL DREAM DREAMS

YOUR OLD MEN

WILL HAVE VISIONS

AND GOD WILL BE A WELCOME GUEST

AT OUR TABLE
