Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Whims and Visions The Dual Self. I wanted to talk to God one day, But I could not find Him - I´d lost the way. The world was so selfish, cold, and drear; And I whispered sadly, "God is not near." All labor seemed toil, each effort vain; The pulse of the universe throbbed with pain; Weary and lonely, I fell asleep. Fearing to wake lest I wake to weep. I woke in the silence of early morn, When another and better self was born. I spoke to my Savior in love, not fear, And my heart made answer: "God is here." My hands performed their tasks that day; My feet walked forth the self-same way; But the other self traveled beyond and above, Caroling ever. "God is love." I plucked a flower He planted for me; I kissed a baby all winsome and free; I spoke to a lonely, desolate one, And saw the smile of love-light come, I scaled the mountain, and talked with God, While my feet earth-paths of beauty trod. Upward. Just a lilting summer morning, full of moving life, Leaf and flower and brooklet shining, naugh expressing strife. Two sweet children, laughing, playing, watch the clouds run past; And the parents fondly whisper: "Will their Eden last?" "Life is song," the girl sings blithely. "Music!" shouts the boy, And their parents echo, smiling, "life is childish joy." "Will the trees grow up to heaven; do the birds fly there?" All their questions leading upward to the cloudland fair. "Yes," the answer, "all are reaching, rising to God´s love; Concord, beauty, love and heaven, all are found above," But the climax of perfection is the spirit free Which can rise o´er earth and distance, as do bird and tree."
