Vengence is not mine

"Now it is time that gods came walking out
of lived-in Things...
Time that they came and knocked down every wall
inside my house...

                                                       O gods, gods!
who used to come so often and are still
asleep in the Things around us, who serenely
rise and at wells that we can only guess at
splash icy water on your necks and faces...
once again let it be your morning, gods.
We keep repeating.  You alone are source.
With you the world arises, and your dawn
gleams on each crack and crevice of our failure."

~Rainer Maria Rilke

After all

"Dearly beloved, avenge not yourselves, but rather give place unto wrath: for it is written, Vengeance is mine; I will repay, saith the Lord."

~Romans 12:19

And

"Surrounded by artifacts, by illusory and seductive sirens of popular culture, our task is to intuit the presence of the gods, to lift soul up and out of that delusory surface texture."

~James Hollis

Many of you who have experienced the desire for vengence know the significance of the words posted herein.  Some of us will pay a high price to get it.  Others will know that lived-in things rumble with the energy of the gods and will make a beautiful place to house their wrath. 

...blessed are those who stay put with the gods in beautiful lived-in Things?  Can you hear the rumble of their energy knocking down the walls?
