Structure and a game

Sometimes, when our family visits an art gallery, we play a game. We walk around and enjoy the art works, then we each decide our favourite work. It's fun to re-visit the chosen paintings and hear why each person chose that particular work as their favourite. I always gain a much richer appreciation of the whole by taking a fresh look through the eyes of another, of particular works.

I have been randomly reviewing some of the poems in our book of the month. Now I am back at the Contents page and note the structure the compilers have given for the readers. There are 12 headings:

1. Introduction
2. God's Supremacy
3. Man, the Expression of God
4. Thought Opens to Healing
5. Qualities that Heal
6. Prayer
7. The Healing Power of Divine Love
8. Regeneration and Restoration
9. Trials, Proofs of God's Care
10. Praying for Others
11. Safety
12. Now is the Time

That's pretty helpful. Some guideposts.

But what I really like this evening is the poem "The touch divine" by Jean Hazel Allen and includes "Poems are such fragile things...

Yet...

They exert a power that sways..."

This poem is placed even before the Introduction and it is this poem which gives our book its name: Boundless Light.
