The husbandman

Love tends the garden of my mindto bring to fruit still fragile budsof faith, and charity that nodsgently to Spirit's gentle wind.

Hymn 291*

Quiet, Lord, my froward heart,Make me gentle, pure, and mild,Upright, simple, free from art;Make me as a little child,From distrust and envy free,Pleased with all that pleaseth Thee.

The man of peace

No! Don't react,Bristle,Snap back,Or judge!

Star time

Shadows of darkness may claim their illusion,Claim that night heightens a false sense of fear.
Jigsaw pieces of patriarchs and prophetsFall into place.
Each new way we see to love and healBuilds upon the lessons learned before.

Peace horizon

A peace more deep-rootedthan an old sequoia tree,a peace more innocentthan the purest springhead stream,a peace more profoundthan the deepest ocean depths,a peace more soundthan the strongest diamond rock,a peace more poisedthan the highest mountain peak,a peace more far-reachingthan the beyondest star,a peace more settledthan the greatest earthly calm—I longed for such a peace as this.
