The Breath of the Divine

Do not fear.

Do not fear either Life or Death, 

For both are but the breath of the Divine.

Fear neither loss nor gain, for the gain shall be for your brother 

And the loss shall only lighten your burdens.

Do not fear the mysteries of life, 

For those mysteries are only the depths of your own being 

And the key to them all is Love.

Do not fear the thorns upon your pathway, 

For they only protect the blossoms of your heart.

Fear no anguish, no conflict, 

For the cross is encircled with the crown of victory.

Fear nothing that unites you to your brethren, 

But with your eyes ever fixed upon the Highest, 

Press forward on the path of destiny 

Until the outward becomes the inward 

And the discordant notes of nature blend in one great Amen.

Your friends greet you in the name of the Universal.
