James Augustus Berens

Heaven’s Contract

Let us sow the seeds of the Great Garden with Truth—and nurture it with the blood of beasts.

Will that we may steward our Great Garden to something more mighty, noble, and truthful than ourselves.

And with its blessed fruits, will that we, too, become more mighty, more noble, more truthful, more beautiful, more godly.

Let us will upon ourselves that heavenly contract—that we may transcend beast, man and human alike.

Let our Great Garden stand as testimony to our own virtue. And let it serve as the extinguishable light of goodness—and that it may chase away the darkness.

And let us be vigilant, with our brothers in arms, that it may never return again.

BY FORCE OF TRUTH AND MIGHT, WE WILL TRANSCEND.
