Hurry! We burn
____Cecil Day-Lewis
Unfolding anew, like the lotus blossom,
Truth and beauty,
Light
What really is,
____Nellieanna H Hay
What is renaissance? we may ask.
Shadow owes its birth to light.

For Rome so near us, for the phoenix moment
When we have thrown off this traveller's trance
And mother-naked and ageless-ancient
Wake in her warm nest of renaissance.
An all-new, yet ageless, awakening
happens.....
Ever-new.
Is what you cannot see
With your two eyes.
You cannot see
Yourself from outside,
Nor see another
From his inside.
Yet, what is, IS.
And this,
You can perceive.
Historically, The Renaissance heralded the end of The Dark Ages.
It brought enlightenment.
revitalization.
rebirth, revival, restoration...
at least, for some.
Even now, renaissance does happen...individually,
though it may seem that, collectively...
mostly, darkness reigns.
And yet, it only requires one lamp or candle...apiece!
Let it glow.
