1. 1Sin is the only thought that makes the goal of God seem unat­tainable. 2What else could blind us to the obvious, and make the strange and the distorted seem more clear? 3What else but sin en­genders our attacks? 4What else but sin could be the source of guilt, demanding punishment and suffering? 5And what but sin could be the source of fear, obscuring God’s creation; giving love the attributes of fear and of attack?

2. 1Father, I would not be insane today. 2I would not be afraid of love, nor seek for refuge in its opposite. 3For love can have no opposite. 4You are the Source of everything there is. 5And everything that is remains with You, and You with it.
