So I will declare
and define innocence, so that you may know that it is not as lost as
you think it.
Innocence is all
that a soul can find in its grace for living; it is the power to
smile forward-looking and say, this is going to be a truly beautiful
day, or I look forward to that. It is beguiled only by the construct
of its desires. If it desires wholeness, health, happiness, joy,
peace and harmony, it remains innocence. If it looks for anything
more, it is as beguiled as its beguiler.
And so therewith,
you have the call of innocence. Its fronds and pieces about you are
scattered far and wide. It tarries not after you; it follows you
swiftly whether you may go in pursuit of the aforesaid,
aforementioned virtues. For it is, and always will, remain in
virtuous thought and mind. It spreads its innocence and gives itself
to forward-looking in spite of bad company it may meet. It is
contagious, and of such a nature that the very air we breathe
contains its value and virtue.
