The Flesh &The Divine: Andre Gide & John of the Cross

Earthly Desire, Divine Ecstasy; The Fire of the Flesh and the Fire of God. André Gide and John of the Cross loved in radically different ways. One embraced the beauty and struggle of human desire, the other sought the ecstasy of divine union.
This video explores not WHOM they loved - that is obvious - but HOW they loved — two visions of what love is and what it means that reveal something timeless about the human heart.

I read and interpret what deserves not to be forgotten. If that resonates—join in.
Some of what I share In this channel "Interpreting Tradition", are reflections on Literature, Politics, History, Philosophy. Sometimes I read old texts out loud, and sometimes I just speak into the camera. But behind every video is the same impulse: to preserve something. To interpret what’s been handed down — carefully, honestly, and with a sense of reverence.
