Wake up! Wake up!

Have I been thoughtlessly so long sleeping—Losing the bright, sparkling, first love and joy,Resting on laurels long grown dim,A figure of apathy, ardency thin?

The angels of my life*

My angels wear no wings—except the wings of Loveto bear me upabove the stony pathand help me soar.

I fill the void

Right where a yawning void stares you in the face—loss, failure, and desolation,where nothing seems to thrive,where there seems to be no way out—right there am I.

Altogether lovely

God is good and mercifulbecause He is that bright and intelligent Love,seeing, feeling all that is true.

Righteous thoughts

Painless dance of life

Thank you, God, for Truthand Love that vanquish pain,for Life that wakens meto blissful dance again.

Lesson from the lake

As unrippled waterspresent flawless mirrored forms,clearly perceptible and undistorted,so, spiritual stillness of thought,wholly unruffled,more and more shows forthgenuine selfhooddistinct and perfect.
