To the Heights-XLI
Aspire wholly,
Ask for the fullness of Grace-
But weigh not the measure of Response,
Nor repine if it seems doled out scantily, niggardly.
The high wisdom knows and gives just what is needed-
Could we only rest contented and move in its rhythm an d not transgress its will,
Serene would be the path and perfect and even prompt the achievement;
But our greed and vanity and self-love
Magnify our worth and distend our girth:
We lay claim to that and pull at that which is beyond our desert,
We force the supreme Bounty and infinite Abundance,
And in answer it condescends to come down....
But we are unable to contain it and the inflated receptacle we have made ourselves to be
Bursts and crashes a ruined and shattered heap!
Give yourself wholly and ever more and more,
It is your unreserved giving that will create the spaciousness
to hold safely the gift from the Divine.
October 9, 1936
