FATHER KEN’S NOTE
The "Parable of Immortality"
I am standing by the seashore.
A ship at my side spreads her white sails to the
morning breeze and starts for the blue ocean.
She is an object of beauty and strength, and I stand
and watch until at last she hangs like a speck of
white cloud just where the sun and sky come down
to mingle with each other.
Then someone at my side says, 'There she goes!’
Gone where? Gone from my sight - that is all.
She is just as large in mast and hull and spar as she was when she left my side and just as able to
bear her load of living freight to the places of destination.
Her diminished size is in me, not in her.
And just at the moment when someone at my side says, 'There she goes!’ there are other eyes
watching her coming, and other voices ready to take up the glad shout:
'Here she comes!'
--------- Henry Van Dyke 1852- 1933
Father Ken
