In church

By Mildred Kendall Shaw

From the October 1980 issue of The Christian Science Journal

A place
of fresh beginnings
where the Word of God
makes new paths
in consciousness—
quietly, inexorably,
consuming the dross
until the gold shines through—

where self meets the Son
in a holy sacrament
of Thy-will-be-done,
and the yielding heart
rejoices to find
that yielding
and healing
are one.
