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.

There 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.
