Love’s unlabored motion
Spontaneous inspiration through
spiritual devotion
assures an atmosphere of
love-filled thought that
raises us above the
life-in-matter notion.
It frees us for sublime soaring
as on outstretched wings,
with dominion and full strength;
we are lifted, ascending
in new spiritual light,
in the beauty of
its warm glow,
in upward flight.
Effortlessly, divine Love stills
human will,
annuls fear’s petition, arouses
spiritual energy’s unfettered
healing motion, which
draws each one heavenward.
The ceaselessly, radiant,
loving, living Christ, Truth,
lifts each ready heart
from struggling.
Frustration forgotten, we are refreshed
with constant healing,
with potions of Truth, through
the splendor of Love’s perpetual
unlabored motion.
--Eva-Maria Hogrefe,
The Christian Science Journal, January 1996--
The victory always remains with those who admire,
rather than with those who deride,
and the power of appreciating is worth
any amount of the power of despising.
Spirituality is the friend of civilization
