Lemons in a White Bowl

this yellow you bring

with dark green still attached

holds pungence in winter

honey and hot lemonade

those child years

Wyoming nights clear and long

ice points of stars through panes

the unheated bedroom

where by morning

breath was preserved frozen

into flowers and fruits

white forests of fern

pleasures and cold comforts

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.
