“Away, 0 Soul, hoist instantly the Sail!
O daring joy but safe!
Are they not all the seas of God?
0 farther, farther, farther sail!”

Radiant Religion
This game is not a grim duty. Nobody need play it unless he seeks richer life. It is a delightful
privilege. If you forget to play it for minutes or hours or days, do not groan or repent, but begin anew
with a smile. It is a thrilling joy—don’t turn it into a sour faced penance. With God, every minute can be
a fresh beginning. Ahead of you lie limitless anticipations. Walt Whitman looked up into the starry skies
and fairly shouted.
