Playing Coy by Marcel Antonio (2022)

Love comes with a knife, not some shy question, and not with fears for its reputation! I say these things disinterestedly. Accept them in kind. Love is a madman, working his wild schemes, tearing off his clothes, running through the mountains, drinking poison, and now quietly choosing annihilation.

—Rumi, from “The Silent Articulation of a Face”

Let the dead have the immortality of fame, but the living the immortality of love. *** We live in this world when we love it.

—Rabindranath Tagore, Stray Birds

From the picture here drawn, it is plain to see how Michael is men's guide to the Christ. With all the gravity of his being, his bearing, his actions, Michael goes through the world in Love. He who follows Michael, cherishes Love in relations with the outer world. And Love must unfold itself first in relations with the outer world — else it turns to Self-Love.

But if there be this Love, as cherished in the Michael-mind, the ‘Love for Others’ will be reflected back into the personal Self. The Self will then love, without loving itself. And on the paths of such Love as this, Christ is to be found by the soul of Man. He who follows Michael, cherishes Love in relations with the outer world, and thereby finds that relation to the inner world of his own soul, which brings him together with Christ.

—Rudolf Steiner, The Michael Mystery: Chapter IX

Jeanne, who had got up early, was tired, and so, according to his own confession, was d'Aulon. They both went upstairs to rest, d'Aulon lying down on a couch in Jeanne's room, Jeanne lying down on another bed with her hostess in order to rest and sleep. Poor d'Aulon, however, had only just settled down to rest, and was already half asleep, when Jeanne sprang up from her bed and woke him. He asked her what she wanted; and perhaps it is not too fanciful to imagine that he was rubbing his eyes. From every account it is clear that she was in a state of great agitation. "En nom Dieu," she replied...
