"Morning" from the Circus of the Sun, by Robert Lax
Robert Lax remains one of the best kept spiritual secrets of the twentieth century. Better known as the closest friend of the renowned Trappist monk Thomas Merton, it comes as a surprise to many that Merton himself hailed Lax as his “spiritual superior.”
In the beginning (in the beginning of time to say the least) there were the compasses. Whirling in void their feet traced out beginnings and endings, beginning and end in a single line. Wisdom danced also in circles for these were her kingdom. The sun spun, worlds whirled, the seasons came round, and all things went their rounds; but in the beginning, beginning and end were in one.
And in the beginning was love. Love made a sphere, and all things grew within it. The sphere then encompassed beginnings and endings, beginning and end. Love had a compass whose whirling dance traced out a sphere of love in the void; in the center thereof rose a fountain.
