THE GOLDEN FELLOWSHIP

GROVE OF GOLD

THE FELLOWSHIP- BANQUET OF LIGHT

“He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love”

                                        Song of Songs 2:11

The Fellowship of Aves at the Grove of Gold is an exclusive experience of magic and discovery. It is to enjoy an intimate communion with the Divine, made through an earnest connection with Nature in her unsurpassed immanence. The sage in the 1^st Song sang glowingly:

                             Come with me

                             Sweet beloved

                             Let’s lead to the idyll

                             Where fragrant roses are red

                                                             Purl (Grey Heron, Ardea cinerea)

By this declaration, it shows that the Fellowship of Aves at the Grove of Gold is one of tranquility, plenty and perfection, in the full glory of Nature. Therefore, for the Scribes at the great banqueting table, ready to dine with the Divine, highest discretion and diligence is required. The sage made a solemn prayer in the 57^th Song this way:

                           Be my watch

                           When I search

                           To find the food

                            In ultimate good

                                                   Lux (Starling, Lamprotornis nitens)

To fellowship with the Divine is to be fed the ambrosia of wisdom imbued in songs. This divine food, given in abundance, fills the partaker with illuminated truth, prompting a curiosity that moves the flight higher in communion with the Most High. Of the celestial meal the sage sang in the 63^rd Song:

                             I was fishing

                             For fish

                             To make a dish

                             When I found pearls

                                                  

                                                     Cobalt (Common Nighthawk, Chordeiles minor)

At the Banquet of Light up in the Grove of Gold, seated in the company of Scribes, the Sojourner, now an anointed Ave is invited to eat with the Divine Presence a six course meal as the sage prophesied in the 4^th trope of the 26^th Song;

                         Searching for sign

                         And supreme secret

                         To temper the blistering heat

                         And make the battle for bread benign

                                                               Photon (Leafbird, Chloropsis sonnerati)

                                                   

To the Scribes sanctified to dine at the banqueting table, let the 6 Course Dinner begin….
