Did you paint the owl? I really like it.

Oh, i wish! My artistic inclinations in this life are geared toward enjoying what others produce. I have used words for art, but nothing like capturing actual nature. thank you for sharing this with us.

Hi Martin,
I have not forgotten you or your last question. I am working on an appropriate reply.

Another spammer..

Thank you so much, Martin and fellow Theosophists, for accepting my request. There's lots of great stuff to read and take in here, so I'll probably be a quiet participant for awhile--subject to change at a moment's notice. ;-)

Martin :)

re: Hesychasm, i enjoy the 2nd & 3rd meanings of the term:

1. "the practice of inner prayer, aiming at union with God on a level beyond images, concepts and language", a sense in which the term is found in Evagrius Ponticus (345-399),Maximus the Confessor (c. 580-662), and Symeon the New Theologian (949-1022);
2. "the quest for such union through the Jesus Prayer", the earliest reference to which is in Diadochos of Photiki (c. 450);

i am particularly taken with the story told in 'the Way of a Pilgrim', a Russian traveller searching for the meaning of 'pray without ceasing'.

as a meditation practice, i've been trying a personal variation of the rosary but may need to change it up.

Hi Martin,

Thanks.

I found TheosNet by a friend.
