Community of the Spirit
Community of the Spirit - meaning Summary
Join the Ecstatic Community
This short poem invites the reader to join a spiritual fellowship where ordinary boundaries dissolve. It urges wholehearted immersion in life: to move through the crowd, to become the noise, to drink up passion and risk social disgrace. The concluding image—closing both eyes to see with the other eye—suggests a turn toward inner, nonrational perception. Overall the poem functions as an exhortation to surrender ego and social niceties in favor of ecstatic belonging and deeper, inward knowing.
Read Complete AnalysesThere is a community of the spirit. Join it, and feel the delight of walking in the noisy street and being the noise. Drink all your passion, and be a disgrace. Close both eyes to see with the other eye.
