August 2000 Quaker Thought FRIENDS and Life OURNAL Today

A gull on the beach stands Poised and pointed to sea, Then, drawn by beckoning waves, Steps stiffly out 'til water and the sky Fill all his world, and he floats; Lost and found in the curve of a wave, Caressed by water's passioned loving, Breast to breast, and home at last.

I, like gull, trust water's wildness And lean to sea. Surf sounds pull at me, wave tendrils lap My steady pacing feet. Then launching forth with faith-buoyed bones, I stretch myself upon the sea, To toss among some random foam Or lightly rock, in Love's embrace, 'Til floating deep within Love's heart I rest at last, and am at home.

James's intensity, his identifica­ tion of suffering as essential to redemption, and his great personal appeal as counselor as well as controversialist added to his popular stature. Aside from any considerations of ri­ valry, Fox's concern might have been: was James setting or discovering the direction the movement was to take? The question was answered by Nayler's fall, which the burdens of the day, but also Nayler's own failures of discernment, has­ tened in truly tragic fashion. During much of 1655--6, James was a focal point for the Lon­ don campaign of the Publishers of Truth: preaching, counseling, and writing at a fero­ cious pace, often with little help and little break.
