 "Conversation"

God and I in space alone . . .
and nobody else in view . . .
"And where are all the people,
Oh Lord" I said,
"the earth below
and the sky overhead
and the dead that I once knew?"
"That was a dream," God smiled
and said: "The dream that seemed to
be true; there were no people
living or dead; there was no earth,
and no sky overhead,
there was only myself in you."
"Why do I feel no fear?" I asked,
"meeting you here in this way?
For I have sinned, I know full well
and is there heaven and is there hell,
and is this Judgement Day?"
"Nay, those were but dreams"
the Great God said, "dreams that have ceased to
be.
There are no such things as fear and sin;
there is no you . . . you never have been.
There is nothing at all but me."

 'Tis the set of the sail that decides the goal, and not the storm of life

 A pat on the back is only a few vertebrae removed from a kick in the pants, but is miles ahead in results.

 A weed is but an unloved flower.

 All in the dark we grope along,
And if we go amiss
We learn at least which path is wrong,
And there is gain in this.

 All love that has not friendship for its base, is like a mansion built upon the sand.

 Always continue the climb. It is possible for you to do whatever you choose, if you first get to know who you are and are willing to work with a power that is greater than ourselves to do it.

 And I am glad my heart can say,
When others trip and fall
(Although I safely passed that way),
"I understand it all."

 And if pretension for a time deceive,
And prove me one too ready to believe,
Far less my shame, than if by stubborn act,
I brand as lie, some great colossal Fact.

 And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears

 And the smile that is worth the praises of earth is the smile that shines through tears

 Back on its golden hinges
The gate of Memory swings,
And my heart goes into the garden
And walks with the olden things.

 Be not impatient in delay,
But wait as one who understands;
When spirit rises and commands,
The gods are ready to obey.

 BE STILL: Be stiller yet; and listen. Set the screen
Of silence at the portal of your will.
Relax, and let the world go by unheard.
And seal your lips with some all-sacred word.

 Between the finite and the infinite
The missing link of Love has left a void.
Supply the link, and earth with Heaven will join
In one continued chain of endless life.
