 How simple for me to Live with you O Lord How easy to believe in you. You fill me with the clear certainty  That You exist And that You watch to see that all The paths of righteousness be not closed Alexander Solzhenitsyn Christian Creed May the God of hope Fill you with all joy and peace In believing That you may abound  In hope. ROMANS 15:13

 Folks greeting those they meet. Children playing in the street. People working hand in hand For the better of the land. Atonement with the great I Am. Lion resting with a lamb.

It was but yesterday I mused, forgetful of his presence here, Till thought on thought drew downward tear on tear; When from the pillow, where wet-cheeked I lay, A head as hairy as Faunus, thrust its way Right sudden against my face,—two golden-clear Large eyes astonished mine,—a drooping ear Did flap me on either cheek, to dry the spray! I started first, as some Arcadian Amazed by goatly god in twilight grove: But as my bearded vision closelier ran My tears off, I knew Flush, and rose above Surprise and sadness; thanking the true Pan, Who, by low creatures, leads to heights of love.
