PEACE comes within human souls when they realize their relationship, their oneness, with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize that at the center of the universe dwells the Great Creator whose Center is really everywhere within each of us.
How shall the mighty river
reach the tiny seed?
See it rise silently
to the sun's yearning,
sail from a winter's cloud
flake after silent flake
piling up layer upon layer
until the thaw of spring
to meet the seedling's need.
Make tender, my heart:
release through gentleness
Thine own tremendous power
hid in the snowflake's art.
