Welcome back! We're starting Season 5 in a truly adventurous spirit, joining St. Brendan the Navigator on his strange, miraculous journey to the "Land of the Blessed" - Avalon, Tir Na Nog, the Land of the Saints, Eden - it has had many names. We'll learn about some of the more beautiful and otherworldly parts of Brendan's journey, hear some Yeats poetry, and yearn for that 'other world' beyond the hills of heather. Plus, what kind of fairy are you? Traipsing or Solitary? Important questions and lots of immersive sound to celebrate St. Patrick's Day Week and the wonder of Irish storytelling traditions. ----- www.bornofwonder.com  Leave a review for the podcast on iTunes and leave a star rating on Spotify!  Support the podcast on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/bornofwonder?fan_landing=true   Subscribe to Born of Wonder on Substack: https://bornofwonder.substack.com  -------- "He Wishes for the Clothes of Heaven" William Butler Yeats  S3 - EP 34Into the Land of Fairy https://bornofwonder.podbean.com/e/s3-ep34-into-the-land-of-fav erie/  S1 - Ep9  Celtic Otherworlds, St. Patrick, and Selkies! https://bornofwonder.podbean.com/e/celtic-otherworlds-st-patrick-and-selkies-slainte/  The Fantastic Voyage of St. Brendan the Navigator - Word on Fire https://www.wordonfire.org/articles/the-fantastic-voyage-of-st-brendan-the-navigator/     The Voyage of St. Brendan the Abbot - 1891 Translation https://markjberry.blogs.com/StBrendan.pdf    Jen Fulwiler Podcast - Deep Work - "Driver or Nester?" https://www.jenniferfulwiler.com/podcast/episode/264bdef7/146-deep-work    Risking Enchantment - "Celebrating Irish Saints, Miracles, Myths, and Modern Perspectives" https://www.rachelsherlock.com/podcast/episode/d9029d58/celebrating-irish-saints-miracles-myths-and-modern-perspectives    Fiddle playing - by me!   Other sound effects and music courtesy of Freesound.com 

Jenny and I are taking the week off to celebrate our wedding anniversary. The success of our No Compromise conversations, in which I always say, "Qu'ils sont beaux, lex pieds" to introduce my Jenny, is here explained. Jenny was God's gift of grace to me, my path back to His arms. On Valentine's Day 2022, we posted my original poem to Jenny on our Simple Gifts podcast. We repost that episode here on the Christian Atheist. Qu'ils sont beaux les pieds, "How Beautiful are the Feet" (Isaiah 52:7; Romans 10:15) is my love song to my Jenny this Valentine's Day! My love has only grown exponentially since we married. My one earthly goal is to spend every available second with her! Yeats' poem "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven" was my foundational poetic influence in writing this piece, but there were many, many more, some of which I trace out in this episode. Happy Valentine's Day to the love of my life!            Qu'ils Sont Beaux Les Pieds   I have spread my dreams under your feet For they speak to me of Golden Mean Of swirls and curly fractal stream Scent, sight, tactile complete Complement-whorl in all ways meet   You, transcendent cloth in immanent flesh- I, being poor, naught can commend But dreams of you I receive and send - The clothes of heaven in poverty dress Unless thus enrobed your feet shall press               Upon my dreams   Tread softly, my Love, for what dreams may come Through which our mortal coils may travel Roads taken & not taken ravel & unravel Though past is past, it is not the sum   For Time is not an unbroken arrow Parallel treks we've trod in struggle Converge in One a history double Time-tethered we, within our marrow,   Revise what was through what will follow   From Pieds Beaux you spiraling rise Tripped too often by syncopated schism Now dance with me in measured rhythm To theme-captured melody from your eyes Woven with dreams in cloths of skies   © John Wise, February, 2022 https://www.youtube.com/c/TheChristianAtheist/featured  https://www.facebook.com/JnJWiseWords  https://wisewordsforyouroccasion.wordpress.com  #poem #poetry #verse #literature #aestheticliterature #aesthetic #rhythmic #phonaesthetics #soundsymbolism #metre #prosaic #literarycomposition #poet #ambiguity #symbolism #irony #poeticdiction #muse #prosody #meter #metricalpatterns #rhymescheme #Qu'ilssontbeauxlespieds #love #lovepoem #lovepoetry #valentinesday #howbeautifularethefeet #yeats #williambutleryeats #williamyeats #hewishesfortheclothsofheaven

A listener from Arizona named Russ writes in about his fear that in the unending awfulness of 2020 he's turning toward animals as a defense against humans. That he's always been a "defender of humans" and doesn't want to turn into one of those people who only loves dogs. Words by Winter: Conversations, reflections, and poems about the passages of life. Because it’s rough out there, and we have to help each other through.Original theme music for our show is by Dylan Perese, with additional music composed and performed by Kelly Krebs. Artwork by Mark Garry. Today’s poem, He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven, is by William Butler Yeats and is in the public domain. It was read by Luke O'Brien.

A century and a half since his birth, the Irish poet W.B. Yeats is one of the best-loved in the English language, known for his lyric poems such as ‘The Lake Isle of Innishfree’ or for romantic poems like ‘He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven.’ Throughout his literary career, though, Yeats wrote in a range of styles and on diverse subjects. His poems reflect his Irish nationalism, reinvent traditional genres, draw inspiration from Irish myth and legend, and push into innovative symbolism. Stephen Regan and Michael O’Neill take us on a journey through the varied landscape of Yeats’s verse. Find out more at READ: Research English At Durham.

Sahih al-Bukhari – The Book of Tawheed – Lesson 74 (08/12/18) Narrated Anas: Allah's Apostle said, "Whenever anyone of you invoke Allah for something, he should be firm in his asking, and he should not say: 'If You wish, give me...' for none can compel Allah to do something against His Will." Narrated 'Ali bin Abi Talib: That one night Allah's Apostle visited him and Fatima, the daughter of Allah's Apostle and said to them, "Won 't you offer (night) prayer?.. 'Ali added: I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Our souls are in the Hand of Allah and when He Wishes to bring us to life, He does." Then Allah's Apostle went away when I said so and he did not give any reply. Then I heard him on leaving while he was striking his thighs, saying, 'But man is, more quarrelsome than anything.' (18.54) Narrated Abu Huraira: Allah's Apostle said, "The example of a believer is that of a fresh green plant the leaves of which move in whatever direction the wind forces them to move and when the wind becomes still, it stand straight. Such is the similitude of the believer: He is disturbed by calamities (but is like the fresh plant he regains his normal state soon). And the example of a disbeliever is that of a pine tree (which remains) hard and straight till Allah cuts it down when He will." (See Hadith No. 546 and 547, Vol. 7). Today we covered – • When making du’aa be firm with intent with that du’aa o One should not ask Allaah and say, “If you wish O Allaah.” Rather ask with resoluteness o Do not make du’aa half heartedly o Say, “O Allaah, forgive me” With conviction in that du’aa o When making du’aa make it with passion • The will of Allaah • The example of a believer o He is tested by the calamities o He settles and comes once the calamity has left him o The example of the kaafir o The meaning of Qiyaas o The issue of self-harm o Is smoking cigarettes haram? o The ruling regarding taking drugs o The reason as to why alcohol is haram o How to deal with depression • Q&A session Benefit: To gain further understanding when we discuss the chains, follow our “Bayqooniyyah in the Sciences of Hadith” lessons on LearnAboutIslam: http://www.learnaboutislam.co.uk/2016/01/18/al-Ma’iyahndhoMa’iyahh-al-bayqooniyah/ The English translation of the hadiths and all the audio are available on: www.learnaboutislam.co.uk/bukhari Recorded at the Salafi Centre of Manchester on 10/12/18 and streamed live on www.SunnahRadio.Net

Dare to believe God! God says: He Wishes above All Things That You Should Prosper and Be in Health. God Wants You to Prosper. God Wants You in Good.Jesus Himself Said: I Am the Good Shepherd, I Lay down My Life for My sheep. I came to give you life, to give it to you abundantly, overflowing, pressed down, shaken again, and running over. John 10:10-11, Luke 6:38,God is the author success. Today will look at Joshua chapter 1 and discover how to have success God's way.Turn to Joshua chapter 1 you gonna see twice the LORD said to Joshua I'm going to show you how to have success.Be strong and very courageous, 1. that you may do according to all the law which Moses My servant commanded you. Turn not from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go. 2. This Book of the Law shall not depart out of your mouth, but you shall meditate on it day and night, that you may observe and do according to all that is written in it. Benefit: For then you shall make your way prosperous, and then you shall deal wisely and have good success.”l‭‭Joshua‬ ‭1:7-8‬ ‭What is success from God's viewpoint. Success is the continuing desire to be the person that God wants me to be, and to achieve the goals that God has set for me to achieve.In Ephesians 2:10 God says: You are My Own handiwork, My Own Workmanship, created in Christ Jesus, born anew of the Spirit of God, that you may do those good works which I predestined, planned beforehand for you, taking pass which I prepared ahead of time, that you should walk in them, living the good life which I prearranged and made ready for you to live.You cannot be successful by leaving God out of your life.God desires for you to succeed, and He planned for you to succeed, and he wants you to succeed.Let's look at the life of Abraham. Starting in Genesis 12:1 the LORD gives specific instruction to Abraham:Get out of your country, From your family And from your father's house, To a land that I will show you. Notice that the LORD says you have to leave, then I will show you. Abraham had to walk in faith, depending on God instructed him.Then God promises Abraham 7 Benefits:1. I will make you a great nation; Genesis 17:4-6, 18:18, 46:3, Deuteronomy 26:5, 1 Kings 3:82. I will bless you Genesis 22:17, 24:353. And make your name great;4. And you shall be a blessing. Genesis 28:4, Zechariah 8:13, Galatians 3:145. And I will bless those who bless you, Genesis 24:35, 27:29, Exodus 23:22, Numbers 24:96. I will curse him who curses you; 7. And in you all the families of the earth shall be blessed. Genesis 12:3, Genesis 22:18, Genesis 26:4, Psalms 72:17, Matthew 1:1, Luke 3:34, ask 3:25-26, Galatians 3:8As you can see in the life of Abraham, God has provided seven benefits the benefits you because you too, are Blessed Being the Very Seed of Abraham. For you belonging to Christ are in Him Who is Abraham's Seed, so you are Abraham's offspring and spiritual heirs according to promise of God. Galatians ‭3:29‬ For in Christ Jesus you are all children of God through faith. Galatians ‭3:26‬ And if we are His] children, then we are [His] heirs also: heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ sharing His inheritance with Him]l; only we must share His suffering if we are to share His glory.”‭‭Romans‬ ‭8:17‬ ‬And because you really are His sons, God has sent the Holy Spirit of His Son into our hearts, crying, Abba Father! Father! Therefore, you are no longer a slave (bond servant) but a son; and if a son, then [it follows that you are] an heir by the aid of God, through Christ.‭‭Galatians‬ ‭4:4-7‬ ‬And being God's Child He says to you: Beloved, I pray that you may prosper in all things and be in health, just as your soul prospers. 3 John ‭1:2‬ Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, The Holy One of Israel: “I am the LORD your God, Who teaches you to profit, Who leads you by the way you should go. Isaiah ‭48:17‬ The LORD is your shepherd; you shall not want. Psalms ‭23:1‬ And God is able to make all grace every favor and earthly blessing come to you in abundance, so that you may always and under all circumstances and whatever the need be self-sufficient possessing enough to require no aid or support and furnished in abundance for every good work and charitable donation.2 Corinthians ‭9:8‬Thus you will be enriched in all things and in every way, so that you can be generous, and your generosity as it is administered to others will bring forth thanksgiving to God. 2 Corinthians ‭9:11‬Now thanks be to God for His Gift, precious beyond telling His indescribable, inexpressible, free Gift! 2 Corinthians ‭9:15‬

He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven by William Butler Yeats Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,Enwrought with golden and silver light,The blue and the dim and the dark clothsOf night and light and the half light,I would spread the cloths under your feet:But I, being poor, have only my dreams;I have spread my dreams under your feet;Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.

Rand reads, "He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven", a poem by William Butler Yeats.

He Wishes for The Cloths of Heaven

Melvyn Bragg explores the strange and mystical world of the poet W B Yeats. Celtic folklore, the Theosophical society, the Golden Dawn group, seances and a wife who communicated with the spirit world all had a huge effect on the work of this great Irish poet. He published his first collection in 1889 and won the Nobel prize for literature in 1923.At the close of the nineteenth century he published one of his best known works. He Wishes for the Cloths of Heaven: “Had I the heavens’ embroidered cloths,Enwrought with golden and silver light,The blue and the dim and the dark clothsOf night and light and the half-light,I would spread the cloths under your feet:But I, being poor, have only my dreams; I have spread my dreams under your feet; Tread softly because you tread on my dreams.” But Yeats the dreamer and the poet was also a mystic, a philosopher and a practitioner of magic. From the occult subcultures of Victorian London to the outlandish folklore of the Irish Peasantry, Yeats’ obsession with the spiritual world infused his poetic mind and even drove him to describe his own religion. Why was the period so alive with spiritualism? And how did the poems reflect the dreams? With Roy Foster, Carroll Professor of Irish History at Oxford University; Warwick Gould, Director of the Institute of English Studies, University of London; Brenda Maddox, author of George’s Ghosts: A New Life of W B Yeats.
