O MAN DIVINE, sanctify our efforts with the light of thy sacred touch. Dwell in our hearts, hold before us the image of thy greatness. Forgive our transgression, teach us to forgive. Guide us into serene fortitude through all joys and sorrows, inspire us with love overcoming pride of self, and let our devotion for thee banish all enmity.
MY MIND still buzzed with the cares of a busy day; I sat on without noting how twilight was deepening into dark. Suddenly light stirred across the gloom and touched me as with a finger. I lifted my head and met the gaze of the full moon widened in wonder like a child's. It held my eyes for long, and I felt as though a love-letter had been secretly dropped in at my window. And ever since my heart is breaking to write for answer something fragrant as Night's unseen flowers-great as her declaration spelt out in nameless stars.
