Ed Graves, a Catholic priest, shares his experiences of God, a passionate God desperate for our love; a God who took him for his intimate, who has guided him from his teenage years on a journey to mystical bethrothal, then impelled him to share his discoveries through art and poetry. A trained painter, Fr. Graves strives to convey the spiritual vision that, to the lover of God, the world, in every aspect, in every person, gleams with mystery - for every one is a precious brushstroke of God, the master painter. God reveals his love by creating us and the dazzling world for us -- and, ultimately, in one majestic display, by divesting himself of his majesty to clothe himself in our mortality, and, on a storm-rent hill of shame and rejection, attempt to rip our hearts free from the grip of pride and remake them like his own.
To Fr. Graves, the world is steeped in mystery, charged with beauty, eternal in purpose. Only poetry and art -- the language of spirit, often complex, often obscure -- can convey this perception, for it eludes reason and the casual observer it and unveils its grace only to the quiet contemplative.view less
