Latter Days and Yester Years



            “Latter Days and Yester Years”

“Latter days and yester years, broken smiles and bitter tears form the gestalt of our mystic paths.

 Latter days and yester years, hidden dreams, and broken fears bind us to the Eternal.

Latter days and yester years, fuller smiles and joyful tears crown our very now   --- so full is the very now with such things --- and through the very now we are wedded to one another even as we can see one another; wedded also still we are through the very now with those of us we can no longer see with our physical eyes ---   wedded indeed, forever and a day.  

Latter days and yester years, fuller nows and joyful tears form the reality of our mystic and unending days . . .  Latter days and yester years, fuller nows and joyful tears form the reality of our mystic and unending days.”

  

Thomas M. Scott, Th. D.                            Thanksgiving Day, 1994
