19. The distance between

```

The distance

Between

Hope and despair

Is no distance.

The distance

Between

Love and hate

Is no distance.

The distance

Between

Doubt and faith

Is no distance.

But

The distance

Between

Your lower life

And

Your higher life

Is incredibly long,

Arduous and dangerous.
