We know that we have passed from death unto life,
because we love the brethren.
---1 John 3:14
They have led us out of the world's periphery;
they---whose fellowship is Early Christianity,
and we been blessed to thrive on their Holy Legacy;
to be with them, even across vast History.
We read their Scriptured words, their ancient spirituality,
which never stoops to the dregs of perfidy,
nor the seething rages of prejudiced thuggery.
Although I have succumbed, too often, to fears and wishes;
and have to offer even less than two loves and five fishes,
yet Christ called me, even me, starward unto Salvation---
and that is, and always shall be, my soul's chiefest exulation.
Starward
