Here it is the lines of a manuscript found in one
church in Boston, for return of the year of 1644.
Tranquilamente it tranquilamente follows between
the inquietude and the haste, remembering of
that it always has peace in silence. As much as
possible, without being humiliated, alive in
harmony with all the ones surround that it. It
says its tame truth and calmly and hears the
others, exactly the insensatos and ignorants -
they also have its proper history. You are son of
the Universe, brother of the stars and trees. You
deserve to be and same here who you not it can
understand, the Land and the Universe goes
fulfilling its destination. It prevents the aggressive
people and transtornadas, them afflict our Spirit.
If you to compare itself with the others, you if it
will become presumptuous and hurt, therefore it
will have always somebody inferior and
somebody superior you. Alive intensely what
already he can carry through. He remains myself
interested in its work, still that humble - it is what
of Real he exists throughout the time. Either
cautious in the businesses, because the world he
is full of astuteness, but it does not fall in the
incredulity. The virtue will always exist. You are
son of the Universe, brother of the stars and
trees. You deserve to be, and same here who not
yet it can understand, the Land and the Universe
goes fulfilling its destination. Much people fight for
high ideals and in all part the life is full of
heroísmos. Either you yourselves, mainly, it does
not simulate affection, nor either unbelieving of
the love, because exactly ahead of as much
dryness and disenchantment, it is so perennial as
relva. You are son of the Universe, brother of the
stars and trees. You deserve to be, and same
here who not yet it can understand, the Land and
the Universe goes fulfilling its destination.
Acceptance with affection the advice of oldest, but
either understandable with the impulses
innovators of youth. It feeds the force of the Spirit
will protect that it in the unexpected misfortune,
but if it does not despair with imaginary perigos -
many fears they are born of the fatigue and the
solitude. E an spite of a rigorous routine, either
gentile I obtain exactly. Therefore it is in peace
with God, as he wants that conceive you it. E any

To feel son of the Universe is to feel itself safe,
knowing that a bigger force conducts our lives,

accurately on this saying: Not inquieteis you for
knowing where you will find what to eat for
sustenance of your life, nor of where you will
take off vestments to cover your body. It is not

it will be launched in the furnace, how much
bigger care will not have in you to dress, ó men
of little faith!
