SURVIVAL

What more dynamic than the cry,"Come forth"?

COMPANIONSHIP

We are not alone,Despite the boast of mortal sense.

GRATITUDE

In moments when I seem to beThe victim of despondencyOr pain or agonizing fear, Bereft of all I hold most dear,Without a gleam of inward lightTo dissipate the gloom of night;If then I give my gratitudeFor all the blessings, all the goodWhich I inherit as God's child,My heart with joy will be so filledThat evil thoughts will pass away,As darkness is dispelled by day.

ENTITY

Each thing in God especial is, unique;No one is undistinguished in his role.

OMNIPRESENCE
