POWER OF GOOD
Good has no fear;
good is itself, whatever comes.
It grows, and makes, and bravely
persuades, beyond all tilt of wrong:
stronger than anger, wiser than strategy,
enough to subdue cities and men
if we believe it with a long courage of truth.

RECONCILIATION
perh. f. same root as GATHER (The Concise Oxford Dictionary)

UNITY
"So often one hopes to reach some reconciliation. On the way one is for ever called upon to be elastic but not stretched, to be close and stand back, to meddle and not touch, to participate and stand aloof, to laugh with and not at - unless with a purpose.

And out of the rhythm of all this give and take, is born the pulse, sometimes through constriction, of freedom. The whole boy is taken in and cared for wholly. His goods and chattels are counted as part of him, they often are.

So the mystery is worked for, paid for, by perpetual vigilance, attention to change, and all the bits and pieces, all the care and covering one can only hope may lead to wholeness.

At-one-ment."

One does not unify merely by being middle of the road!
