It has also been named the </span><span class="s4" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Italic"; font-size: 17pt; font-style: italic;">Song of Solomon</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">and the </span><span class="s4" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Italic"; font-size: 17pt; font-style: italic;">Canticle of Canticles</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">. King Solomon is named the author of the original poem (1:1), although the written version handed down to us, because of the nature of the Hebrew with Aramaic, Persian and Greek loan words, may have been transcribed at a later date. The poem features a dialogue between two lovers, one male and one female, and their profession of love for each other. </span></div>

<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The Hebrew name shushan or shoshan, i.e., “</span><span class="s3" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Bold"; font-size: 17pt; font-weight: bold;">whiteness,” </span><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">was used as the general name of several lily-like flowers common to </span><span class="s6" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-BoldItalic"; font-size: 17pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: bold;">Syria</span><span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">, such as the tulip, iris, anemone, gladiolus, ranunculus, etc.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Some interpret it, with much probability, as denoting in the Old Testament the water-lily (Nymphoea lotus of Linneaus), or lotus (Song of Songs 2:1-2; 2:16; 4:5; 5:13; 6:2-3; 7:2).</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">“Its flowers are large, and they are of a white color, with streaks of pink. They supplied models for the ornaments of the pillars and the molten sea” (1 Kings 7:19, 22, 26; 2 Chronicles 4:5). In the Song of Solomon its beauty and fragrance shadow forth the preciousness of Christ to the Church. Groser, however (Scriptures Natural History), strongly argues that the word, both in the Old and New Testaments, denotes liliaceous plants in general, or if one genus is to be selected, that it must be the genus Iris, which is “large, vigorous, elegant in form, and gorgeous in coloring.”</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">The lilies (Greek: krinia) spoken of in the New Testament (Matthew 6:28; Luke 12:27) were probably the scarlet martagon (Lilium Chalcedonicum) or “red Turk's-cap lily,” which “comes into flower at the season of the year when our Lord's sermon on the mount is supposed to have been delivered. It is abundant in the district of Galilee; and its fine scarlet flowers render it a very conspicous and showy object, which would naturally attract the attention of the hearers” [John Hutton Balfour, The Plants of the Bible, (London, Edinburgh, New York: T. Nelson and Sons, 1885)].</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">Of the true “floral glories of Palestine” the pheasant's eye (Adonis Palestina), the ranunuculus (Ranunuculus asiaticus), and the anemone (A coronaria), the last named is however, with the greatest probability regarded as the “lily of the field” to which our Lord refers.</span></div>
<div class="p1" style="-webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; color: #454545; font-family: ".SF UI Text"; font-size: 17px; font-stretch: normal; line-height: normal;">
<span class="s1" style="font-family: ".SFUIText"; font-size: 17pt;">“Certainly,” says Tristram (The Natural History of the Bible), “if, in the wondrous richness of bloom which characterizes the land of Israel in spring, any one plant can claim pre-eminence, it is the anemone, the most natural flower for our Lord to pluck and seize upon as an illustration, whether walking in the fields or sitting on the hill-side.” “</span><span class="s7" style="font-family: ".SFUIText-Italic"; font-size: 17pt; font-style: italic; text-decoration: underline;">The white water-lily (Nymphcea alba) and the yellow water-lily (Nuphar lutea) are both abundant in the marshes of the Upper Jordan, but have no connection with the lily of Scripture.”</span></div>

<em>For a long time, it seemed that politics in the United States was “old hat.” I sometimes thought that supporting one party or another was almost like choosing Coke or Pepsi; you might have a preference, but it didn’t really make a difference. But recently our politics have grown more and more divided with many religious people exclusively focusing on narrow issues of abortion or sexual identity while disregarding the lives of so many—refugees, the poor, the incarcerated, the abused or addicted, people at risk from climate change or pollution. What will it take to come together and work for the common good—not only our personal interests? <span style="background-color: yellow;">The old way of doing things just isn’t
cutting it for anyone anymore, not on the left or the right. </span></em></div>
<div class="m_-4701834224866610494size-16" lang="x-size-16" style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px;">
<em>Often what seems new, and sometimes rather shocking, is actually a return to our roots, to traditional wisdom that precedes the founding of the United States and the violence of settler colonialism. Peter Armstrong, an alumnus of our Living School and seminarian at Yale Divinity School, looks to the Gospels for practical guidance to help something new emerge. Peter writes:</em></div>
<div class="m_-4701834224866610494size-16" lang="x-size-16" style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px;">
Just as Jesus was moved to ministry by entering into relationship with other people along his
path, we too are moved by stories and relationships. For me, it took actually showing up at different events in order to learn about white (and male, and straight, and other forms of) privilege—and meeting people who were experiencing the negative side of this phenomenon—for me to have my heart transformed with compassion and a desire for action. In short, I could read all about redlining, mass incarceration, and the case for reparations, but it wasn’t until I actually started showing up at actions with the intention of being transformed through relationship with other people that I began to want to become a better ally.</div>
<div class="m_-4701834224866610494size-16" lang="x-size-16" style="font-family: georgia, serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-top: 20px;">
As a straight white man whose faith has been formed in contemplative
Christian circles, places dominated by white, male speakers (even if the majority of audiences consist of women), I need to seek out voices that are different from my own. In a multicultural, multiethnic, pluralistic society, choosing to live comfortably in a bubble of people who share almost everything in common with me—as I have done for most of my life thus far—is a rejection of God’s work of Creation, for God didn’t create us all the same. We are not meant to live isolationist lives, because God created diversity and it was good (see Genesis 1). . . .</div>
<div class="m_-4701834224866610494size-16" lang="x-size-16" style="font-family: georgia,serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 24px; margin-bottom: 20px; margin-top: 20px;">
The work of getting to know others different than ourselves, made so difficult by our society’s divisions, is nevertheless the
work of following Jesus. . . . Many say that their faith is personal and not to be mixed with their politics. <b>But, in my journey . . . I’ve come to understand that religion has everything to do with politics. Jesus wasn’t executed because he went around healing people; he was crucified as the worst kind of criminal because his Gospel message was viewed as dangerous by the ruling class. </b>In fact, the entire <b><i><u>Gospel of Luke is one long lesson in speaking truth to power—to the corrupt elite in Jerusalem</u></i>. </b><span style="background-color: yellow;"><b>If we Christians claim to have anything to do with Jesus, then we must inherently be engaged with the political issues of our time.</b></span></div>

Once this property was discovered, people of the desert, used henna to cool down their bodies. By making a henna paste and smearing it on themselves, they achieved an air conditioning effect. The sensation is felt throughout the body for as long as the henna stain remains on their skin. It didn't take long before the desert people turned the henna smears into works of art. Thus the mehndi tradition was birthed.</span></span></div>

Solomon compared his lover to “a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi,” an indication of the beauty and fertility of the site (Song 1:14). Evidence has been of workshops used in the perfume industry to distill products made from balsam. It has even been suggested that the perfume production at En Gedi was part of a royal estate.</span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Beethoven was, as we now know, going deaf. Already quite famous as a pianist and composer, he had for several years experienced buzzing and ringing in his ears; by 1800, his hearing was in full decline. The problem thereafter worsened by the year, and it became clear to him and those around him that there was no hope of remission. But what happened as a result changed the world of music, and holds a lesson for us more than two centuries later.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">For a long time, Beethoven raged against his decline, insisting on performing, with worse and worse results.</span></div>
<br><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Beethoven confided in friends that without sound, his life would be meaningless.</span></div>
<br><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">He finally gave up performing as his deafness progressed but found ways to keep composing. His housekeepers noticed that he would try to feel the timbre of notes on the piano by</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> putting a pencil in his mouth and touching it to the soundboard while he played. </span></div>
<br><br><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Later in his life entirely deaf, Beethoven wrote his best string quartets (with more high notes than in works from the previous decade), his magisterial “</span><a href="https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5202103" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1955a5; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Missa Solemnis</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">” and his greatest triumph of all, the </span><a href="https://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5487727" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1955a5; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ninth Symphony</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">!</span></div>
<br><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">It seems a mystery that Beethoven became more original and brilliant as a composer </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">in inverse proportion to his ability to hear his own — and others’ — music.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> But maybe it isn’t so surprising. As his hearing deteriorated, he was less influenced by the prevailing compositional fashions, and more by the musical structures </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">forming inside his own head.</span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">His early work is pleasantly reminiscent of his early instructor, the hugely popular Josef Haydn. Beethoven’s later work became so original that he was, and is, regarded as the father of music’s romantic period. “He opened up a new world in music,” said French romantic master </span><a href="https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=http-3A__www.hberlioz.com_Predecessors_beethoven.htm&d=DwMGaQ&c=RAhzPLrCAq19eJdrcQiUVEwFYoMRqGDAXQ_puw5tYjg&r=FJ6a4q8mgLe9R5jwKAlfhmns-RfLLFNh55qNtTaUwuI&m=edz10qwDO-rPFuG1R6JXvCXLn-Nws-XJQ7jFcO1VpuI&s=3CBJQA4UqkpNc2e-xobw_MtraA1YdlfSMCoZR-d4lZU&e=" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1955a5; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Hector Berlioz</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">“Beethoven is not human.”</span></div>
<br><div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; font-weight: 700; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"><i><u>Then the deafness freed Beethoven as a composer because he no longer had society’s soundtrack in his ears.</u></i></span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;"> Perhaps therein lies a lesson for each of us. I know, I know: You’re no Beethoven. But as you read the lines above, maybe you could relate to the great composer’s loss in some small way. </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Have you lost something that defined your identity? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">-Maybe it involves your looks. </span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">-Or your professional relevance.</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">--How might this loss set you free? </span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 2.1; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt; padding: 0pt 0pt 18pt 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">You might finally define yourself in new ways, free from the boundaries you set for yourself based on the expectations of others. For example, as you age, what if you lean in to the “declines’’ — really just natural changes — and use your wisdom more than your beauty and wits? </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">What if you turn your energy from impressing strangers to being completely present with the people you love?</span></div>
<div dir="ltr" style="line-height: 1.38; margin-bottom: 0pt; margin-top: 0pt;">
<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Obviously it would be naive to think that Beethoven fully appreciated the artistic freedom his deafness granted him. I can imagine Beethoven went to his grave regretting his loss of hearing, because it cost him his beloved career as a fine pianist. He did not know the extent to which his radical new compositional style — heard only by others — </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; font-style: italic; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">would define him as truly great for hundreds of years after his death. </span><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Maybe he had a clue, however. It is significant that his Ninth Symphony closes triumphantly with lines from Friedrich Schiller’s poem “</span><a href="http://saxonica.com/~mike/OdeToJoy.html" style="text-decoration-line: none;"><span style="color: #1955a5; font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">Ode to Joy</span></a><span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">”: “Joy!

<span style="font-family: "times new roman"; font-size: 14pt; vertical-align: baseline; white-space: pre-wrap;">This holiday season, perhaps we can all learn a lesson from the life of the great Beethoven.

Our personal filters, assumptions, judgments, and beliefs can distort what we hear. As a listener, your role is to understand what is being said. This may require you to reflect on what is being said and to ask questions.</div>

“Después de un tiempo, uno aprende la sutil diferencia<br>
entre <b><i>sostener una mano y encadenar un alma.</i></b><br>
Y uno aprende que el amor no significa acostarse,<br>
y que una <span class="text_exposed_hide">...</span><span class="text_exposed_show">compañía no significa seguridad,<br> y uno empieza a aprender…</span><br>
<div class="text_exposed_show">
Que los besos no son contratos y los regalos no son promesas,<br>
y uno empieza a aceptar sus derrotas con la cabeza alta<br>
y los ojos abiertos,<br>
y <i>uno aprende a construir todos sus caminos en el hoy,<br>
porque el terreno de mañana es demasiado inseguro para planes…</i><br>
<b><i>y los futuros tienen su forma de caerse por la mitad.</i></b><br>
Y uno aprende que si es demasiado<br>
hasta el calor del sol puede quemar.<br>
Así que uno planta su propio jardín y decora su propia alma,<br>
en lugar de que alguien le traiga flores.</div><div class="text_exposed_show"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Y uno aprende que realmente puede aguantar,<br>
que uno es realmente fuerte,<br>
que uno realmente vale,<br>
y uno aprende y aprende… y así cada día.<br>
-Con el tiempo aprendes que estar con alguien<br>
porque te ofrece un buen futuro,<br>
significa que tarde o temprano querrás volver a tu pasado.<br>
-Con el tiempo comprendes que sólo quien es capaz<br>
de amarte con tus defectos y sin pretender cambiarte<br>
puede brindarte toda la felicidad.<br>
-Con el tiempo aprendes que si estás con una persona<br>
sólo por acompañar tu soledad,<br>
irremediablemente acabarás no deseando volver a verla.<br>
-Con el tiempo aprendes que los verdaderos amigos son contados<br>
y quien no lucha por ellos, tarde o temprano,<br>
se verá rodeado sólo de falsas amistades.<br>
-Con el tiempo aprendes que las palabras dichas en momentos de ira <br>
siguen hiriendo durante toda la vida.<br>
-Con el tiempo aprendes que disculpar cualquiera lo hace,<br>
pero perdonar es atributo sólo de almas grandes.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

-Con el tiempo comprendes que si has herido a un amigo duramente es muy probable que la amistad nunca sea igual.<br>
-Con el tiempo te das cuenta que aún siendo feliz con tus amigos,<br>
lloras por aquellos que dejaste ir.<br>
-Con el tiempo te das cuenta de que cada experiencia vivida,<br>
con cada persona, es irrepetible.<br>
-Con el tiempo te das cuenta que el que humilla<br>
o desprecia a un ser humano, tarde o temprano<br>
sufrirá multiplicadas las mismas humillaciones o desprecios.<br>
-Con el tiempo aprendes a construir todos tus caminos en el hoy,<br>
porque el sendero del mañana no existe.<br>
-Con el tiempo comprendes que apresurar las cosas y forzarlas a que pasen ocasiona que al final no sean como esperabas.<br>
-<i><b>Con el tiempo te das cuenta de que en realidad lo mejor no era el futuro,<br>
sino el momento que estabas viviendo justo en ese instante.</b></i><br>
-Con el tiempo verás que aunque seas feliz con los que están a tu lado, <br>
añorarás a los que se marcharon.<br>
-Con el tiempo aprenderás a perdonar o pedir perdón,<br>
decir que amas, decir que extrañas, decir que necesitas,<br>
decir que quieres ser amigo, pues ante una tumba, ya no tiene sentido.<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
