Poem

All things new

From the January 2026 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Spontaneity partakes of all things new—
new outlooks,
new interests,
new outcomes.
It delights in God’s expansive ideas.

It sits lightly on the thought,
working deep changes—
shifting conviction 
from belief 
entrenched by habit’s heavy hand, 
to unfettered thought
alive with infinite possibilities.
It opens horizons of discovery,
and sparkles 
with the possibilities 
of unlimited Life. 
It extends our fingers 
to touch new heights 
we had not dared.

Spontaneity invites us all to become new—
new in thought,
new in substance,
new in being. 
It bids us “put off the old man,” and “put on the new.” 
—James Walter
