BEAUTY
I behold the Beautiful and the Pleasant.
My eyes see only that which is beautiful to look upon.

FRIENDSHIP OF THE SPIRIT AND OF MAN
The Friendship of the Spirit and of man is mine now and forever.
Even now I see the countless numbers of friends coming and going around me.
I enter into this friendship and this companionship with gladness and rejoicing.

HE WILLS ME TO BE
It was God Himself who willed that I should be.
I have no cares nor burdens to bear.
I am reminded of the great command:
"Come unto Me all ye who labor and are heavy laden and I will give you rest."
I do come into the Light and I do know that all cares
And responsibilities fall from me as I let the
Light of Wisdom direct my ways.
He wills me to be; therefore, I am.
