St. Francis' teachings elevate humanity, as well as the welfare of all sentient creatures -- Leah This is my first poem from your website and I love it - I am a spiritual person and not overtly religious, but the saint I have been most intrigued and influenced by is St. Francis - I guess there is something to be said about being in the right place at the right time - thank you!

Any other existence was meaningless to him in these moments of rapturous wonder. Thank you for this. Surely you are absolutely correct, one has to realize

Thank you for this.

Awesome reminder for me to be careful of the concepts I adhere to. St. Francis gives us some higher level concepts to flow with. ~Isabell Hi Ivan, Thank you for this and all other poems.
