2. Precious
Each thought is precious    When we live in the world
    Of desire.
A precious thought blossoms
    In the Garden
    Of God’s gracious Light.
A precious will is born
    In the Heart
    Of God’s Intuition bright.
A precious surrender is born
    When God and man
    Barter their precious treasures:
    Man, his agelong ignorance-sea;
    God, His Infinity’s Peace and Bliss.
