Here in a moonlight castle near Antibes

A poem

Here in a moonlight castle near Antibes Night shines in my hair,
cold covers your eyes,
wind flies under walls
and shadows slip through
doorwells.
Soon, this world will wake
to sounds of rock
crashing in the wilderness,
thunder, coming rain,
trucks on the road
and hard shoes scraping
pavement.
But now we hear moonlight
falling into archways,
glimmering on the moat,
nailed to the door
of the castle in Antibes
you made out of paper
(on a windy day).

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.
