Wow, great work man. Some deep ideas here, would love for you to venture into these waters again in some future posts if the sea anemones don’t get you too bad with this one.
Poet as shepherd is a cool idea: Davidic, kingly, Hellenic, etc.
Thanks David! He writes about it very briefly in Wounded by Love, and he talks about certain artists in the three volumes of testimonies about him. I think you’d be interested in Elder Vasileos of Iveron’s essay about Dostoevsky and St. Isaac the Syrian as well.

Great read. What else does St Porphyros write about poets, artists, etc.? Where does he speak about that? I'm really interested in reading that.

The last line reminds me of this exchange from "Our Town," which has stuck with me since the moment I heard it:
“EMILY: "Does anyone ever realize life while they live it...every, every minute?"
STAGE MANAGER: "No. Saints and poets maybe...they do some.”
