I ' mankind seems madly and passively given to, which wears us thin, unravels us, and scatters us like so many frayed or snapped threads. Wf! all too often find ourselves scurrying widdershins in a frantic attempt to gather together the threads and strings of ourselves. George Fox says, "Stand still in that Power which brings peace." How true, but how difficult for many of us to stand still long enough! It is often useful, and sometimes necessary, to gain ,, another, "foreign," perspective of our situation. As several articles in recent Friends · Journals have observed, it is all too easy to become blindered to other spiritual insights by our Christian heritage or SUFI PaTRY bias; religious provincialism and chauvinism can insin\.ate themselves unconsciously into the world view of even the most "enlightened" person. FOR FRIENDS Friends are not immune to nearsightedness. Like­ wise, it is all too easy to lose a sense of historical perspective, to see O\lr time as the worst of times and our spiritual strivings as unique. There are many religious workso of other times and cultures that can help us gain additional insight into our own time and tradition. I per­ sonally have found that quite often a passage or line from such 1diverse works as the Bhagav9d-Gita, Zen poems and prayers, or .Native American myths, storie.s, and poems will cause me to understand more deeply the writings of Friends which, unfor­ tunately, I ·very often unconsciously take for granted. The ecstatic poetry of the Sufi master, Kabir, "is one such work. (The KabirBook; Forty-Four of the ~cstatic Poems of Kabir. Versions by Robert Bly. Beacon Press, Boston, 1977. Paperback $3 .95) In these marvelous poems, I find imaginative and spiritual insights which will surely elicit a shock of recognition in any Friend. That Kabir was a Sufi who lived in India during the fifteenth century simply attests to the fact that religious prophets and seers exist in a timeless dimension. Kabir and Ge0rge Fox, for example, would have by Francis E. Kazemek understood and admired each other. They certainly e are. all aware, as Wordsworth lamented, that would have had a great deal in common, since they both ''The World is too much with us; late and spoke the language of Light and Vision. soon .... " The daily round, with its petty George Fox says, "Mind the light and dwell in it and it W will keep you a-top of all the world.'' How easy it is to annoyances, worries over inflation, social concerns which seem to worsen every day in spite of our efforts, and our forget this in the daily hubbub; how easy for the world to inability to do something to change dramatically the get a-top of us! How often do we find ourselves· minding 'downward-spinning spiral toward destruction that hu- and dwelling in the Light only during meeting for worship! Stop. Let go. Listen to Kabir.

On the other hand, our spirituality is that these given shape and focus by the life and teachings of Jesus persons, things, places, Christ; for to us, the life of Christ defines and reveals the most important in my life love of God.

. The author of this magnificently concise analysis achieves a work of lasting beauty and profundity. It hints at, rather than dwells on, the concrete depravity that constituted . the Holo­ caust, thus transcending the experience without letting it escape or become meaningless. M;argaret Mead once stated that there could be no return to Paradise after Hiroshima. We moved from "a position of innocent irresponsibility, combined with good intentions, to a new respon­ sibility to handle knowledge in a new way, a new loss of innocence" (FJ 9/1171, p. 425). For the survivors of Auschwitz, the nature of the Jewish faith after the Holocaust has become a central ques­ tion. There was such ·a shattering of traditional starting points, that' the opening of Genesis tended to be para­ ·phrased·unconsciously: "'In the begin­ ning there was Auschwitz,' not Sinai . and not creation." lilie Wiesel survived both Auschwitz and Buchenwald, but lost both parents and a younger sister in the camps. His " desperate attempts to establish some limited domain of meaning" are not, . strictly speaking, theological writing. Nevertheless, through a series of novels, short stories, memoirs, essays, Hasidic tales, Rabbinic legends, a cantata and a · play, Wiesel has earned the title "de facto high priest" (Steven Schwarz­ schild) of our generation of.
