It set me to wondering how many of us are purely unselfish when we put that occasional large bill in the collection plate, when we help our neighbors, or when we contribute to community charities and activities. Is it because of our love for God or can it be that we hope to widen the gates of eternity and thus squeeze through? If we ask ourselves about our motives in this way, it will broaden our lives and our spiritual outlook amazingly. Lt. Col .William F. Upton, Jr., Sarasota, Fla.

Sometimes readers tell me of their own longings to preserve a part of themselves, to weave together the fabric of their minds in poetry or prose. As though they seek meat and drink lest they starve, they ask my blessing against their muteness. I cannot help them, I who suffer as greatly as the least of them. I cannot whisper in their ears the magic to cover the cloth of them with the outpouring of their hearts and spirits. There is no frustration so peculiarly piercing as that of a writer who cannot write. There is no stranger drain on the mind which feels the words and cannot set them down.

When at last I sit here, knowing there will be no victory, the quiet desperation of Thoreau is in my heart and I rip to shreds the paper and my thoughts. This is a morning of exquisite pain. Here are the blue sky and the blue sea and the fishing fleet and the gulls. There is a prayer in this morning and a lespite from my desires. I seek them and I cannot find them. Though there is a soaring inside arid I harbor a longing to share the emotions which move me, it is futile. Still I know I will not surrender. Perhaps that is the only real solace for one who would write the constant fight against failure, wearing the plume of promise which cannot be denied. How does a man write? He writes when he cannot write. He writes when he must write. He fails and succeeds, he tries and gives up. but he writes. It is agony. Yet above the dark shores of it are the clear and shining heaven of his delight. |
