SCIENTIFIC SACRIFICE

Matthew 3:13-17

Christopher Scott Langton

"Suffer it to be so now":
a compromise of ideals,
or a patient, hopeful expectation?
a surrender's sigh,
or a quiet call
to work and wait?

Doesn't it involve
the perfect perception
of what is, what Mind has made,
while beholding the vanishing vision
of what only seems to be?

Christopher Scott Langton
