Poem As If I Spoke To Arvo Part

My personal Orthodox spirituality

must be sturdified on the foundation

of daily repentance and ever deepening humility:

thus, with Holy Prophet Habakkuk, I enjoy the privilege of Salvation

guaranteed by the Words of Jesus Christ, God's Son.

And, despite the malillusion and despair of worldly persuasion,

I rely upon, and rejoice in, the Jesus Prayer, or, the prayer of the Publican.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

The fourth line alludes to Habakkuk 3:18.  The last line alludes to Luke 18:13.
