Optimists Float

"Paddle your own canoe"

say the pessimists

while optimists float

downriver to the sea.

Come all things holy..

easily and wholly..

Desires in you by God

planted

will now quickly

or gradually

by God be granted

because they harm no

creature

because they hurt no being

really interesting piece. it begs for further explanation.
the meaning is vaguely hinted at through allegory and leaves a good impression.
i'd love to hear the musical version (you said "A and P minor)--music can add so much to these things.
God bless.
