Dr. Antony Theodore Poems

The poetic vocation calls a man
to inner desert frontiers,
in order to dip into the ocean
of unexploited forces in him
...

The three most difficult things
for a human being are:
not intellectual achievements
or physical feats.
...

You step outside of yourself
and look at your depression.

Do not identify with it.
...

Do not focus on what you don't have.

I refuse to be happy until my sickness is healed.
I reuse to be happy until my neurosis is cured.
...

Come home to yourself.
Observe yourself.

Self-observation is delightful.
...

The spiritual life is a matter
of personal discipline.

The most suitable environment
...

The clearer and more manifest
are Divine things in themselves,
the darker and more hidden are they
to the soul naturally;
...

When the Divine light
of contemplation assails
the soul which is not
yet wholly enlightened,
...

Moses and Paul prepared
for their missions in seclusions
with the Holy One.
...

You are a speck of consciousness
floating in a vast ocean.
...
