The godly fire of enthusiasm - so well explained in this wonderful piece. May we who see this truth never put out that god-given fire, however long we live on earth. Thank you for penning this Michael.

I love this. actually kinda reminds me of some of the stuff in Nietzche's 'Birth of Tragedy' on the greek mindset. Its very powerful and thunderous (if that isnt a word...... it is now) . thanks!

Mighty writing - makes us feel the might and power of enthusiasm which alas lies in deep sleep within so many, me often included. In you it seems to be wide awake. Kind regards Magda G.

Fabulous notion: God equals Enthusiasm. Sounds like an equation to me.
