I Love the Way the Morning
Strikes Against the Darkened Hills
Collie Ryan
I love the way the morning
strikes against the darkened hills
set aflame the
sleepy grass below a golden mantle reign
But the sun above is shadow to a greater sun by far,
and That Thou
Art I heard Them say.
And I love the way the morning sets afree the greening
leaves,
there in
service to the growing of the tree in you and me.
But the sun itself is servant to a greater sun by far,
and That Thou Art,
I heard Them say
And I’ll always love the morning as he reaches out from
space
there renewing
all creation, try to wake the human race,
To the shores of understanding, by a sea of Living Light,
And That Thou
Art, I heard Them say.

On 14 September 2016, after examining the
state of the esoteric movement worldwide, a group of students decided to found the
Independent Lodge of Theosophists.
Two of the priorities adopted by the ILT
are learning from the past and building a better future.
