The day of the absolute is over, and we're in for the strange gods once more.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
The pursuit of eternity is no longer the prerogative of the gods - it is the business of us all, here and now.
God does not die on the day when we cease to believe in a personal deity, but we die on the day when our lives cease to be illumined by the steady radiance, renewed daily, of a wonder, the source of which is beyond all reason.
It was once religion which threatened us with a last judgment at the end of days. It is now our tortured planet which predicts the arrival of such a day without any heavenly intervention.
The future is in our power. Let us, then, each morning, resolve to send the day into eternity in such a garb as we shall wish it to wear forever. And at night, let us reflect that one more day is irrevocably gone, indelibly marked.
We see ourselves in terms of yesterday and today. Our Heavenly Father sees us in terms of forever.
Each day is a step we make towards eternity and we shall continue thus to step from day to day until we take the last step, which will bring us into the presence of God.
Every day that goes by puts us closer to the day when Christ will return.
It is at the time of dawn that we must commune with the gods.
Today is a part of eternity.
God too longs; and because the Absolute Life itself, which dwells in our life, and inspires these very longings, possesses the true world, and is that world.
