WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO

Your soul is oftentimes a battlefield, upon

which your reason and your judgment
wage war against your passion and your
NO appetite.
Would that I could be the peacemaker in
DO your soul, that I might turn the discord and
the rivalry of your elements into oneness
UB and melody.
But how shall I, unless you yourselves be
T also the peacemakers, nay, the lovers of all
your elements?
WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO
Your reason and your passion are the rudder and
NO the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or
your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or
RE else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.
For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and
GR passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its
own destruction.
Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the
ET height of passion, that it may sing;
And let it direct your passion with reason, that your
S passion may live through its own daily resurrection,
and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.
WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO
I would have you consider your
judgment and your appetite even as
you would two loved guests in your
NO house.
W Surely you would not honour one
guest above the other; for he who is
AR more mindful of one loses the love
and the faith of both.
WHAT GOD WANTS YOU TO DO
Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of
NO the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity
of distant fields and meadows -- then let your
SU heart say in silence, "God rests in reason."
And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind
RRE shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning
proclaim the majesty of the sky -- then let your
ND heart say in awe, "God moves in passion."
And since you are a breath in God's sphere, and a
ER leaf in God's forest, you too should rest in reason
and move in passion.
