The Inner Light

I have always been very impressed with the

fascination that sunlight holds for Veronica Balaj

and her work. There is no room for darkness and

obscurity in her delightful encounters with her

fellow creatures or her readers. Everything is basked

in the charmed brightness that animates her and

awakens her creative force. And when her souls

journeys become real and take her on the scene,

under the translucent shimmer of eternal summer, in

mankinds spiritual and dreamlike capitals Rome,

Athens or Jerusalem the contact with her own

euphoria causes a genuine explosion of verses andcolours, enthusiasm and slowly-chanted gratitude for

the good and the beautiful existing on earth and in

heaven.

My words may sound like a psalm, but this is

neither my merit, nor my fault. It is simply the


8/212

constant joy that invigorates lines about a feeling of

great longing embodied in a poem. Such feeling is

offered to us as it was in the early days of ancient

poetics, and as it is in the poem that opens this

volume of initiation into the world of the sacred: the

living essence floating between the earth and the

stars, the Holy City itself.

As Sol invictus is not only a flash of light, but

also a source of peaceful warmth, the incantations

and the psalms created by the poetess of the Danube

and Pontus transcend white, green, pale red or blue

walls and fortresses and make up a unforgettable

spiritual chronicle. This chronicle is as touching as

the papyrus or parchments scrolls about the first

pilgrimage to the Holy Land, that of the tireless

traveller Aegeria who, many centuries ago, set out

on a journey from a different part of Europe,

yearning to see her miraculous dream come true: to

feel the echo of the primeval, everlasting sacredness


9/212

in her heart, in the fortress that is the heart-of-the-

earth.

Now and again, the chronicle speaks of life-long

stays as rich in spirituality as heaps of theological

tomes translated from ancient languages for those

who keep their ears and their hearts open, near the

bells of Jericho or Elijahs spring, in the fine town of

Bethlehem or the deeply moving Ghetsemane, on

the shining slabs of Via Dolorosa or the burning

sand of the Judean desert.

Incandescence is, therefore, the word that

comes to my mind when I read the graceful and pure

lines that Veronica Balaj has written that bright,

searing white colour that human hands cannot touch,

that flame bringing the necessary purification and

hardening for lifes trials, that candid nourishment

(the two concepts, incandescent flame and spiritual

candour, have the same Latin root, as a mind used to

classical idioms will guess without delay) we need

on our road back home (each of us returning to


10/212

where we belong) and also back here, in the Land of

All Lands, near the Sea of All Seas, where the Book

of All Books is, where part of the soul of the poetess

will remain as a pledge of the love of perfection and

longing for Paradise, in saecula saeculorum. Amen!
