I live bordering two states, madness and bliss. So although I may not have anything meaningful to say about sainthood, at least you can count me twice in your tally.

Okay, you’ve got me wondering - is a saint a manner of action or a state of being? Does a saint necessarily need to DO a saintly action, or can a saint just BE a saint? Jesus said, “the kingdon of god is within you, and all around you.” This idea is reiterated in different ways throughout various traditions. Seems to me there’s a good possibility we’re all saints. Perhaps it’s just a matter of recognition.

Question: Would you recognize a saint if they didn’t do anything you’d consider particularly saintly? To me, based on the premise that “if there’s light in your eyes there’s a light in the world” (K. Greeninger), a saint is simply someone whose eyes are lit. Helps me recognize them better.
