I am too small

  • By Helen Harrington

I am too small for all there is of earth, for all there is of sky, and what lies between. How can I hope to compass so much green or appreciate the blossoms' worth? Quick my eye, to catch a sight of deer, if wind whispers, keen my ear to hear. Patiently I wait for suns to set, for dawns, rise early. This is true, and yet so much escapes me! I should have to fly wider than clouds, faster than eagles, and lie awake all night for moons, and be unfurled in a billion flowers to comprehend the world!

Why is Christian Science in our name?

Our name is about honesty. The Monitor is owned by The Christian Science Church, and we’ve always been transparent about that.

The Church publishes the Monitor because it sees good journalism as vital to progress in the world. Since 1908, we’ve aimed “to injure no man, but to bless all mankind,” as our founder, Mary Baker Eddy, put it.

Here, you’ll find award-winning journalism not driven by commercial influences – a news organization that takes seriously its mission to uplift the world by seeking solutions and finding reasons for credible hope.
