Dear practitioner

By MARTHA SAGE VANG

From the March 1985 issue of The Christian Science Journal

I chose you because you were, so to speak, always on your knees— No glib absolutist, But a caring Christian, full of cleansing grace, With tender Christlike words that nourished My disenchanted hope And melted pain and a prison full of self Until I earned humility too, Though bought with a hefty sum. You knew that Jesus suffered.
