God loves to see in me not his servant
but himself who serves all.

The morning lamp on the lamp post
mockingly challenges the sun
with the light it has borrowed from him.

I am able to love my God
because he gives me freedom to deny him.

Wealth is the burden of bigness,
welfare the fullness of being.

Between the shores of me and Thee
There is the loud ocean, my own surging self,
which I long to cross.

The right to possess foolishly boasts
of its right to enjoy.

The rose is a great deal more
than a blushing apology for its thorn.
