I just came across this poem by Mary Baker Eddy when I was giving some thought to God's unchangeable law, how He is divine Love, divine Principle. I like it because it shows we all can and must turn to God, and that we only find good--security, peace, love--there! Enjoy! :)
Whither?
Father, did'st not Thou the dark wave treading
Lift from despair the struggler with the sea?
And heed'st Thou not the scalding tear man's shedding,
And know'st Thou not the pathway glad and free?
The weight of anguish which they blindly bind
On earth, this bitter searing to the core of love;
This crushing out of health and peace, mankind--
Thou all, Thou infinite -- dost doom from above.
Oft mortal sense is darkened unto death
(The Stygian shadow of a world of glee);
the old foundations of an early faith
Sunk from beneath man, whither shall he flee?
To Love divine, whose kindling mighty rays
Brighten the horoscope of crumbling creeds,
Dawn Truth delightful, crowned with endless days,
And Science ripe in prayer, in word, and deeds.
