There’s one question
you’ve got to ask
yourself soon.
It’s this:
“Do I want to find and feel
the fresh truth
of Christian Science
over again—to be absorbed
with this light—more than I want
to lose the dark
of pain or of grief, of crisis or hate?”
Ask soon.
I’ve seen
lives made fully free
out of the right
answer to that one.
