The Creation Spirituality Lineage Calling All Social and Environmental Activists, Mystic Explorers, Justice Makers, Cosmic Thinkers, Earth Keepers Daily Meditations with Matthew Fox |
By Gianluigi Gugliermetto 4/03/2026 |
After offering quite an extended reflection on the cross of Jesus in yesterday’s DM, I would like to invite you today into an artistic meditative experience, more right-brain than left-brain.
I have found on YouTube a quite remarkable work of art, a video watched already by almost two and a half million people in the last seven years. It was put together by Simone Gomes, who masterfully joined the music of Bach — a famous aria from the St. Matthew’s Passion sung by the unrivaled Magdalena Kozená — and images about humanity from the equally unrivaled filmmaker Andrei Tarkovski. The lyrics of Bach’s aria begin with these words: “Have pity on me, O God, for the sake of my tears.” The first image, which sets the tone for the following ones, is taken from Tarkovski’s film Andrej Rublev. We see the monk iconographer Rublev gazing into the eyes of a Christ that he himself has just finished painting. The whole video, music and words and images, can be conceived indeed as a meditation beyond thoughts and concepts about who humanity is. This mix of depth of wisdom obtained through suffering and the infliction of indescribable pain on one’s fellows. Watching this video was both terrifying and consoling to me. I hope it is of value to you, too. |
