Poems

FOR THE JOURNEY

From the October 1979 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Before I leave I know
Mind has circumference and center of my way
already marked and blessed. Although
the map shows here is far from there
(and who can dream what detours there may be?)
Love has set forth its presence everywhere.

Safety obtains not by some geographic point
or through condition of the sea,
air, road, or circumstance; Spirit is taking care
of how I move, have being, and attain my rest.

I know before I leave
Mind has already met me where I go.
