Only the Wind

Only the Wind

The wind is capricious. See
how it plays with the weather vane,
a mighty gust that sends the cock
spinning, a gentle breath that
turns its golden plumes to
catch the sun.
The arrow swings,
pointing this way and that,
like a child at blindman's bluff.
Does it blow out of the north today?
Or the south, the east, the west?
Only the wind knows.

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.
