The Kindred of the Eternal

Be brave
my little baby.

The milk
of my breast
will always
be there for you,
but the time will come
when you will want more,
and will go
to choose
your own path,
and fight your own
battles.

Rest assured
my cherished lambkin,
that wherever you go
I am there with you,
you needn’t be afraid
of the darkest night
or the coldest cistern
of despair. ›

Be brave
my darling child,
stretch
the tendons
of your mind
and the ligaments
of your spirit,
find out
what you are able
to do
and feel,

explore
the vastness
of your powers
and kindnesses,
discover
what it means
to be a child
of the infinite.

Be brave
beloved friend,
for the moment
is fraught
with the greatness
of my goodness,
which enables you
to overcome evil.

Be brave,
my darling daughter,
my beautiful son,
for in so doing
I am fulfilled
in you,
as you are also
in me.
