Metaxe
Transcendent Journey
By: Joan Canby

Metaxe is Plato’s term for transcendence and that the state of being in between, en route. This collection of poetry describes the Holy Land pilgrimage of one soul. A ten day trip to Jaffa, Caesarea, Megiddo, Mt. Tabor, Temple of Pan, Christening in the River Jordan, floating on the Dead Sea, visiting Capernaum, Jericho, Golan Heights, Beth-She’an, Qumran, Masada, to Jerusalem, Bethlehem, East Jerusalem, Mount of Olives, Garden of Gethsemane, Church of the Holy Sepulcher, Western Wall and Solomon’s Temple. As a pilgrimage to a renewed faith tells of one’s soul’s journey offering a promise of transcendence from place to understanding.
