The Art of Praise as a Path to God: Session Six

In this last session, Ward Parks shares a few of the themes and poetic concepts Francis Brabazon used in his book Stay with God. The book is a song and narrative performance of “The Divine Theme,” using The Ten States of God as outlined in God Speaks. In the book, Francis includes themes of devotion to and from God, using art as the medium, suggesting that the highest form of art is God descending into human form. Ward discusses how Francis uses many historical and mythical references to develop his themes. Baba was very pleased with Stay with God; He read it several times and encouraged some of his followers to keep more than one copy in the house.
