Paul Klee (1878-1940), Former Air, 1925, Kunstmuseum, Basel (Switzerland)
"Jesus takes Peter, and Jean Jacques away on a high mountain. And he was transfigured before them. "
(Mark 9.2)
(Mark 9.2)
With Paul Klee, it is given us to contemplate the light in the silence of unknowing.
The silence of the mountains. Under the bright cloud
the Word is silent, Pierre, Jacques and Jean are Earth: it is only in silence can hear the voice of the Father: "This is my beloved Son. "There, he saw the spiritual experience of Jesus, the disciples immersed in the intimacy of the Father, that we share with them in meditation this word. This heavy silence is also one of love, because the son is the beloved, who does not hide from his divine sonship. The Transfiguration reveals the intimate encounter of two hearts in love and that love is also for us. The bright cloud descended upon all those who allowed themselves to move up the mountain.
The light in the night.
the center of the table: the light, as Christ became transfigured his three disciples. A light that does not crush, but spreads slowly, imperceptibly. A light that incorporates glare and dark areas. A light does not erase the folds of the canvas but transfigured. For the transfiguration is not a transformation that would make us different and better things, it is the light that springs from our mundane, sometimes boring, sometimes scary, sometimes suffering.
The vibration of matter.
Heaven only revealed on the earth and the earth when it receives it. Each small colored square, next to one another (despite the almost similar) is good news passer. As Jesus is connected to the Father, each small square is connected to its neighbor is the sweet fire of love fellowship. So, very humbly, the brightness of the only Son of light and continues to give through the brothers and sisters.
Let us for the lights on in our hearts still shine ... good way of Lent.
