Beautiful piece! The role played by the images of Christ Crucifed and the Phoenix in your own personal resurrection are particularly arresting, and well told.

I hope you don't mind a shameless plug for a piece I've just written: there is some overlap with yours in that it (in part) discusses my path (back) toward Christian spirituality. I just thought you might be interested. https://jsplessas89.medium.com/not-another-christopher-hitchens-piece-his-part-in-my-salvation-c0ab0ffc3372

Again, good to read about your thoughts and experiences. You seem to be taking your place among the 'Meaning Revolution'! (Interest in Jung, Peterson, Vervaeke etc.) I look forward to reading more.
