Steps of Experience

I am a child, animal, poet and saint - with a very small ’s’. The child laughs. He enjoys life in all its simplicity and innocence, longing to share the joy with those he loves. The animal embraces the gift of natural instinct, running to survive, blissfully at home in the gift of creation. The poet savours intimate words of the divine and delights in writing. The saint thrives on the intimacy of Christ which thrusts him out to find meaning and purpose in the world. He encourages through preaching the whispers of heaven he has faintly overheard.
