DIVINE INTELLIGENCE

Stanley John York

The beauty and the fragrance of a rose
are hinted by the presence of the bud.
I can delay the flower by denying food,
withholding light, but let me once
expose it to the nourishment
and sunshine that it needs
and finally the blossom must appear.

So, too, with every individual man
subjected to the radiant glow of love—
his Mind-bestowed intelligence inherently unfolds.
