Guitar With Wind Accompaniment

Shadows touch and release

on our moonstruck porch,

leaves moving under white water.

You sing off-key with feeling.

Folk songs on a classical guitar.

I rise, my hand on the rail,

as full-blown climbing roses,

a disarray of petals,

reflect pale sequences of moonlight.

A cold gust of wind

splinters the autumn air,

but you keep on singing.

The future spins

in the weather of pines

and flows through our fingers.

It is all here,

pieces of a puzzle.

In only two lifetimes

we'll complete it.

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.
