New Thought Common Sense

"Evolution is better than Revolution. New Thought Library's New Thought Archives encompass a full range of New Thought media from Abrahamic to Vedic reflecting the ongoing evolution of human thought. New Thought's unique inclusion of science, art and philosophy contrasts with 'old thought' Religion. Today's 'New Thought 3.0' teaches personal responsibility, self-development, human rights and compassionate action as essential spiritual paradigms." ~ Avalon de Rossett

I may not triumph in success,
Despite my earnest labor.
I may not grasp results that bless
The efforts of my neighbor.
But though that goal I never see,
This thought shall always dwell with me ---
I will be worthy of it.

The golden glory of love's light
May never fall on my way.
My path may lead through shadowed night,
Like some deserted byway.
But though life's dearest joy I miss,
There lies a nameless strength in this ---
I will be worthy of it.

Marriage in 1884 took me to the wonderful land of my dreams --- the East. My winter home in New York and my summer home on the Connecticut shore of the beautiful Long Island Sound opened up large vistas of ever-increasing opportunities for improvement, pleasure, and usefulness. I studied; I read; I indulged in physical culture; I became intimate with the sea, and knew the intoxication (possible only to one inland born and bred) found in and on the ocean waves. That which we have always had, we never fully appreciate. I entertained and was entertained by many of the people whose names alone had enlarged my horizon in the old Western life. I felt I was dwelling in an enchanted land, and that feeling has never left me, despite some disappointments and disillusionments.

The materialization into personalities of some of the famous names I had known, proved not always happiness or satisfaction.
