Theosis: A Micropoem by Collette Kristevski

About the Author

Collette (Mary) is an Orthodox Christian, wife, and mother in Arizona. Fundamentalist, turned Baptist evangelical, turned spiritual seeker, turned Orthodox Christian.

An amateur (French, from the Latin word amātor meaning “lover,” from amāre meaning “to love”) in theology, poetry, mystery and paradox,

with her feet on the ground, head in the clouds and an insatiable thirst for Light.

And, above all, a work in progress.

“Stand at the brink of the abyss of despair, and when you see that you cannot bear it anymore, draw back a little and have a cup of tea.”

– Elder Sophrony of Essex
