Slow flow
of sap in silent bough—
winter's springtime
present now!
Slow grow
of shoot in winter earth—
outbreak of wonder
at rebirth!
Slow snow
like blossom on the wing—
winter's accolade
to spring!
Show! Show!
through longest winter night—
perpetual alchemy
of Light!
"Jesus said...I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die" (John 11:25, 26).
"Man is not the offspring of flesh, but of Spirit,—of Life, not of matter. Because Life is God, Life must be eternal, self existent. Life is the everlasting I am, the Being who was and is and shall be, whom nothing can erase" (Science and Health pp. 289-290).
