Truth and action. Man forges his own destiny.Music and love — this is a gentler realm;But both worlds are profoundly contained in existence —And in God, who sees all possibilities.

Absurdity bears witness to All-Possibility —For what exists, cannot but be.Therefore thou must have resignation and trust —Without the one, the other would not be.God permits, but limits, the absurd;Therefore be trusting. Only in GodAnd in His Will, can the soul reap...

He who wants to understand metaphysics arightMust also have faith and obedience.The world-wheel turns, without asking thee Why, how, where and when — so remain still.

Serenitas — therefore resignation;And certitudo — therefore trust in God.It may be that I have said this a hundred times already;May God help me to build the bridge.
