Daniel 11 May 2018

These four quatrains (4 x 4) are remarkably compressed as if each one us a complete life. But I'm sure they are an allegory of just ONE LIFE with its multiple SIN - REPENTENCE - FORGIVENESS - which us why a soul can be both damned and lost, that is, damned until found by Jesus and forgiven. That's why you call humans saintly sinners. Your poem is equally Dostoyevsky and Kerouac.

Wow! Dostoyevsky and Kerouac. I must be doing something right. Daniel, I am humbled and greatly flattered. Kerouac was very worried about where his soul would end up after his death. I suspect that he was deeply concerned about the possibility of purgatory. Which would be quite tragic because he was sort of living a purgatory on earth.

Yes. That is our belief. Love, forgiveness, comfort, strength in one savior, our Lord Jesus. 10++++++++++++++++++ and onto my fav list, friend Richard, thank you for writing this.
