There is nothing wiser than the circle, Rilke says in his Stories
of God. John Dunne's new book explores the wisdom of the circle. He
uses the metaphor of the circle dance, a folk dance in which the
women form an inner circle, holding hands and moving clockwise; the
men form an outer circle, moving counterclockwise. When the music
stops the person opposite you is your partner for the next dance.
Dunne interprets the circle as the great circle of life and light
and love that comes from God and returns to God. Dunne emphasizes
the far point on the circle, farthest away from God, and uses that
to discuss the difficulties of our secular age. In the individual
life, the far point is a dark night of the soul. Yet Dunne sees
that far point of loneliness and darkness as a point as well,
marking the return to love and light. So the theme of the book is
like the words of an old Bedouin to Lawrence of Arabia, "The love
is from God, and of God, and towards God." The book concludes with
the words of twenty-one "Circle Songs," composed by the author.
