The Future Stands In Need

The World Is A Spinning Die, And Everything Turns And Changes: Man Is Turned Into Angel, And Angel Into Man, And The Head Into The Foot, And The Foot Into The Head. Thus All Things Turn And Spin And Change, This Into That, And That Into This, The Topmost To The Undermost, And The Undermost To The Topmost. For At The Root All Is One, And Salvation Inheres In The Change And Return Of Things.

To Begin With Oneself But Not To End With Onself. To Start From Oneself But Not To Aim At Oneself.

In Spite Of All Similarities, Every Living Situation Has, Like A Newborn Child, A New Face, That Has Never Been Before And Will Never Come Again. It Demands Of You A Reaction That Cannot Be Prepared Beforehand. It Demands Nothing Of What Is Past. It Demands Presence, Responsibility; It Demands You.

Man Is Like A Tree. If You Stand In Front Of A Tree And Watch It Incessantly, To See How It Grows, And To See How Much It Has Grown, You Will See Nothing At All. But Tend It At All Times, Prune The Runners And Keep It Free Of Beetles And Worms, And All In Good Time-it Will Come Into Its Growth. It Is The Same With Man: All That Is Necessary Is For Him To Overcome His Obstacles, And He Will Thrive And Grow. But It Is Not Right To Examine Him Hour After Hour To See How Much Has Already Been Added To His Stature.

One Cannot In The Nature Of Things Expect A Little Tree That Has Been Turned Into A Club To Put Forth Leaves.
