    A modern adaptation of a Poem written by an opium addict of the 19th Century. Living in cities like Hong Kong and roaming the world in search of satisfaction, peace, an end to inner turmoil, the poet returns to England 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 He is taken in by Christian monks who (good Samaritan and all that stuff) feed him, care for him, provide a roof over his head, show him mercy, show him love, show him compassion and essentially slowly he is weaned off the drugs. In short he finds Christ and finds inner peace. That hound of heaven still follows us down the years and is never going to stop following us….We just have to stop running and look into his face.

    Francis Thompson (16 December 1859 - 13 November 1907) was an English poet and Catholic mystic. At the behest of his father, a doctor, he entered medical school at the age of 18, but at 26 left home to pursue his talent as a writer and poet. He spent three years on the streets of London, supporting himself with menial labour, becoming addicted to opium which he took to relieve a nervous problem.
    "A destitute misfit, addicted to Opium" in the credits does NOT do justice to this man of faith and his recognition as a Catholic mystic.. --- In my humble opinion. I pray for his soul. 🙏

    Thank you for doing justice to the original poem with this modern adaptation!
    I fled Him, down the nights and down the days;
    I fled Him, down the arches of the years;
    I fled Him, down the labyrinthine ways
    Of my own mind; and in the midst of tears
    I hid from Him, and under running laughter.
    Up vistaed hopes I sped;
    And shot, precipitated,
    Adown Titanic glooms of chasmed fears,
    From those strong Feet that followed, followed after.
    But with unhurrying chase,
    And unperturbèd pace,
    Deliberate speed, majestic instancy,
    They beat-and a Voice beat
    More instant than the Feet-
    'All things betray thee, who betrayest Me'.
    : :
    : :
    'Ah, fondest, blindest, weakest,
    I am He Whom thou seekest!
    Thou dravest love from thee, who dravest Me.'
    -The Hound of Heaven ( an excerpt), by Francis Thompson

    Words cannot come close to describe this beautiful adaptation
    ..the illustrations the narrator the story of unfailing unconditional love .pursuing us..then the deciever....also after us for our destruction for our demise.Eternal damnation is Satan's goal for us.
    This story occurring now for all those who are not yet redeemed...yet whose human hearts still beat. The clock ticks louder and louder ..how many? how many breaths do you have left in your lungs .do you know ? ..surrender to your maker..He is the lover of your soul. He is your Father, allow Him to love you. To comfort you.To eventually bring you home into everlasting rest, peace joy un ending .we will be with our Dad where we belong!. Amen!

The first time someone turned me on to this poem was at a Drug Rehab a long time ago... I am happy for Francis Thompson that he finally found peace & eternal love... "Broken pieces & shattered dreams" ...in the busy noise...when all you have to do is listen to the silence!!!!!

    Incredible, just incredible! It reminded me of a homeless man I found on the streets and come to find out from the police that he was very, very rich man that lost his wife. After that, he wandered the streets and he once told me that money was a curse, that he would give everything to have his wife back. He just walked away from success and wanted to die in the big city. Somehow, that plagues me to this day and this poem makes me wonder about things no one wants to think about. We think that the glass is half full is a positive step, but it brings into question while most of us pursue a life of success, is that materialism and is that evil or is it what we do to help others in life that matters the most? If everyone just helped one other person, what a world it would be!

    I usually despise modern adaptations. But this one grabbed me. Thank you. God always finds His own, even after they seek solace in so many other things. And when we finally look to him, I am reminded of the hymn, "I sought the Lord and afterward I knew, He move my soul to seek Him, seeking me. It was not I that found O Saviour true, no I was found, was found of Thee." It was written to the tune of Finlandia by Jean Sibelius
