thoughts for my friends and all friends when I woke up again in the night and continued where I had left off and forgive our
debt as we forgive our debtors . I write these lines, and address then to your wife. You are a all of one mind and I illegible
mean these lines for everyone in your household, hoping that someday, one of you shall drop in and show his or her face in
lovingkindness. But the ultimate destination for these 1ines shall be with you. You, man of plain garb and true heart , where
are you? The morning paper tells us of jailbreak and yellow war streaks, but not a line of what would tend to build up the
Kingdom of God. Do you now walk under Cypress or Bamboo? It is only gradually, gradually that learn t? love my brother as
myself, and almost tremble when I believethat I also will have to love the illegible as I love my bindentree. How can I? Is
the music of the tamtam as sweet as the vibration of the harp? Is the illegible of the leathery foliage as the illegible of
the soft network of a maple? a beech ? - And yet, God lives in all of them, and, I dare say, by the time I again read the
chapters of the prophet who wrote on t he illegible , I shall now hide my face, and ash forgiveness of the Great Spirit .
--- Travel, friend, walk and rest, be it under Magnolias, be it under Breadfruitterees. Then come home, your lungs laden as
mine are, now with the fragrance of the moistened earth. Breath out your tales of field and forest, and be again one of us,
one under your vinetree, one with your quail find cricket. Buy that time my crutches shall bloon. They have already cracked
their dry lignum. And as you, some day, walk near this home, I can again stand on my feet, I can stretch out an arm, I can
illegible of my fellow man. Believe it, as I know it, the illegible is filling the cleansed pores and shall odwell forever
in the illegible tabernacle. Blessings for you all from illegible George Hansen
