In the beginning …

In the only, now and always

_{Inspired by page 502, lines 24–27, of Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures by Mary Baker Eddy.}

And the spirit of God moved
upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light.
Spirit moves my thought
from darkness.
My prayer, “God, help,”
is answered in goodness unfolding.

And God made the firmament,
and divided the waters.
Principle separates the chaos
from my heart.
Divine order clarifies my understanding,
bringing assurance of light and peace.
