Poetry and prayer

Today I started a new blog, mainly to ensure that the work I have been doing on my father's translation of St Nilus of Sinai's book How to pray can be kept together rather than each chapter being separated by random jottings in this blog. The book has 153 chapters, all succinct to the point of terseness. But  Nilus chose to write 153 chapters as a reference to the 153 fish caught by the apostles in John 21. Nilus wrote that he has 'published them in a basket of love', so I have subtitled the blog 'The basket of love.'
