The Law

The sun may be clouded, yet ever the sun
Will sweep on its course till the cycle is run.
And when into chaos the systems are hurled,
Again shall the Builder reshape a new world.

Your path may be clouded, uncertain your goal;
Move on, for the orbit is fixed for your soul.
And though it may lead into darkness of night,
The torch of the Builder shall give it new light.

You were, and you will be: know this while you are.
Your spirit has travelled both long and afar.
It came from the Source, to the Source it returns;
The spark that was lighted, eternally burns.

It slept in the jewel, it leaped in the wave,
It roamed in the forest, it rose in the grave,
It took on strange garbs for long aeons of years,
And now in the soul of yourself it appears.

From body to body your spirit speeds on;
It seeks a new form when the old one is gone;
And the form that it finds is the fabric you wrought
On the loom of the mind, with the fibre of thought.


As dew is drawn upward, in rain to descend,
Your thoughts drift away and in destiny blend.
You cannot escape them; or petty, or great,
Or evil, or noble, they fashion your fate.

Somewhere on some planet, sometime and somehow,
Your life will reflect all the thoughts of your now.
The law is unerring; no blood can atone;
The structure you rear you must live in alone.

From cycle to cycle, through time and through space,
Your lives with your longings will ever keep pace.
And all that you ask for, and all you desire,
Must come at your bidding, as fl ames out of fire.

Once list to that voice and all tumult is done,
Your life is the life of the Infinite One;
In the hurrying race you are conscious of pause,
With love for the purpose and love for the cause.

You are your own devil, you are your own God,
You fashioned the paths that your footsteps have trod;
And no one can save you from error or sin,
Until you shall hark to the Spirit within.

~Ella Wheeler Wilcox~
American author & poet

Those two lines in purple blew my mind!! 8) There's no expressing better than that!

I agree thais those 2 lines are very powerful. Reminds me of the ghost of Jacob Marley in "A Christmas Carol" carrying the heavy chains he wrought thru his materialistic actions in life, but here she is talking about thoughts rather than actions.

I lurve Ella Wheeler Wilcox!! You might remember I posted some of her stuff before, I think that's when amancara discovered her! 8)
I think she was way ahead of her time. Have a look at The Sowing of the Seed
Chapter 2 of Heart of the New Thought http://ellawheelerwilcox.wwwhubs.com/thotnt.htm
It's all good but I particularly like the line "There is nothing that so confuses and frustrates misfortune as to stare it down with unflinching eyes."


her bio here http://ellawheelerwilcox.wwwhubs.com/

Here's another of her poems that I love.


You Never Can Tell

You never can tell when you send a word,
Like an arrow shot from a bow
By an archer blind, be it cruel or kind,
Just where it may chance to go.
It may pierce the breast of your dearest friend,
Tipped with its poison or balm,
To a stranger’s heart in life’s great mart,
It may carry its pain or its calm.

You never can tell when you do an act
Just what the result will be;
But with every deed you are sowing a seed,
Though the harvest you may not see.
Each kindly act is an acorn dropped
In God’s productive soil
You may not know, but the tree shall grow,
With shelter for those who toil.

You never can tell what your thoughts will do,
In bringing you hate or love;
For thoughts are things, and their airy wings
Are swifter than carrier doves.
They follow the law of the universe –
Each thing must create its kind,
And they speed o’er the track to bring you back
Whatever went out from your mind.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

She certainly was, Lynn!

And the couplet I highlighted connect on to:
Somewhere on some planet, sometime and somehow,
Your life will reflect all the thoughts of your now.


That's why it's so important to reconcile your life before death, and not go out in anger, hatred, resentment or fear. It'll all bounce back at you next time round.
