purpose

in any situation in which you are uncertain,
the first thing to consider, very simply, is
"what do i want to come of this?
what is it for?
the clarification of the goal belongs at the beginning,
for it is this which will determine the outcome.

doubt is the result of conflicting wishes.
be sure of what you want,
and doubt becomes impossible.

nothing is difficult that is wholly desired.

no one who has a single purpose,
unified and sure,
can be afraid.
no one who shares her purpose with her
can not be one with him.

it is this intent we seek today,
uniting our desires with the need of every heart,
the call of every mind,
the hope that lies beyond despair,
the love attack would hide,
the brotherhood that hate has sought to sever,
but which still remains as God created it.

the peace of God is my one goal; the aim
Of all my living here, the end i seek,
my purpose and my function and my life,
while i abide where i am not at home.
