Joshua Nichols posted a blog postFirst-Day Thoughts
In calm and cool and silence, once againI find my old accustomed place among My brethren, here, perchance, no human tongue Shall utter words; where never hymn is sung,Nor deep-toned organ blown, nor censer swungNor dim light falling through the pictured pane! There, syllabled by silence, let me hear The still small voice which reached the prophets ear;Read in my heart a still diviner lawThan Israel's leader on his tables saw!here let me strive with each besetting sin,Recall my wandering…See More

First-Day Thoughts
In calm and cool and silence, once again
I find my old accustomed place among
My brethren, here, perchance, no human tongue
Shall utter words; where never hymn is sung,
Nor deep-toned organ blown, nor censer swung
Nor dim light falling through the pictured pane!
There, syllabled by silence, let me hear
The still small voice which reached the prophets ear;
Read in my heart a still diviner law
Than Israel's leader on his tables saw!

The Quaker of the Olden Time
The Quaker of the olden time!
How calm and firm and true,
Unspotted by its wrong and crime,
He walked the dark earth through,
The lust of power, the love of gain,
The thousand lures of sin
Around him, had no power to stain
The purity within.
With that deep insight which detects
All great things in the small,
And knows how each man's life affects
The spiritual life of all,
He walked by faith and not by sight,
By love and not… Continue

Draw Breath, a poem by Geoffrey Weeden
Breathe in the quiet purpose of this place;
Through outward stillness, seek a calm within.
Here we can find forgiveness and forgive;
Here feel the healing miracle begin.
Through outward stillness, seek a calm within.
Here we can find forgiveness and forgive;
Here feel the healing miracle begin.
Breathe out the busy world, the teeming mind,
The follies, fears and failures of the week;
Breathe out contention, pettiness and pride,
And wait in trust for
The follies, fears and failures of the week;
Breathe out contention, pettiness and pride,
And wait in trust for
that of Godto speak.
Breathe in communion, friend with quiet friend,
Each drawing closer…
Continue Each drawing closer…
