Was there actually a face-to-face interaction as the icon might suggest? Or was it a correspondence connection only?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03479149467250808551noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-22511106250710443082010-03-20T11:53:58.672-05:002010-03-20T11:53:58.672-05:00Hi-thanks!

A good poem is worth perhaps at least 5000 words as a painting is worth 10 000 - but perhaps a poem is worth even more! I myself would think so! <br /><br />Too bad about your expert friend being off the grid these days; though I hope and pray that it is for reasons of health and salvation that the person is uncontactable. <br /><br />Nice that your daughter's name is Elizabeth! Which Saint is she named after? My Mom is a protesant and named me after a friend with the name but my spiritual father gave me St. Elizabeth the Mother of the Forerunner; of course I also love St. Elizabeth the New Martyr.<br /><br />Glad you are here in the blog world; you are really forturnate to have the time to study as you do; have a blessed weekend! May Holy Saint Mary pray for us all.elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00962587884124992942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-14552670589444141062010-03-20T10:56:09.400-05:002010-03-20T10:56:09.400-05:00Elizabeth> (That's my daughter's name a...Elizabeth> (That's my daughter's name as well!) Thank you for your kind words. I don't know much about St Philaret's writings, but I don't remember reading anything else about him writing poetry. Unfortunately too, my one expert friend on such matters is completely off the grid these days and can no longer be contacted.Aaron Taylorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17775589009145031773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6714437334790446678.post-72794134844957971022010-03-20T10:31:47.368-05:002010-03-20T10:31:47.368-05:00Recently discovered your blog.
