I can date my spiritual awakening many years ago to a passage written by Ralph Waldo Emerson, which I read and pondered. It is as follows:
There is no great and no small
To the Soul that maketh all:
And where it cometh, all things are;
And it cometh everywhere.
In my youth I was seeking for something. At the time I could not have named the thing for which I was searching, but now, after being a student of Christian Science for many years, I know it was the truth which I sought.
