I thought it might be time for another poem. Denise Levertov became a Christian. Her father was raised a Jew and became an Anglican priest. Her family has some involvement with Hasidic mysticism.

She described her own journey, “slow movement from agnosticism to Christian faith, a movement incorporating much of doubt and questioning as well as of affirmation.”

Jacob's Ladder seems a good start.

Thanks--I shared with woman experiencing more than her share of challenges. She likes angel imagery, and so I thought maybe this poem, too. She replied, "This is really beautiful - thank you."
