With the encouragement of my spiritual father, I am sharing here a journal of my experiences on the ascetic path of Orthodox Christianity. It’s an intensive confrontation with the challenge that my trials have provided. Facing pain and debilitating illness daily, I write to process my understanding and to share with others.
The experiences I write about here grow from an Orthodox view of reality. I hope this writing is clear and helpful.
Gratefully in Christ,
Karen (Kyranna)
