All it has experienced, tasted, suffered: The course of years, generations of animals, Oppression, recovery, friendship of sun and - Wind Will pour forth each day in the song Of its rustling foliage, in the friendly Gesture of its gently swaying crown, In the delicate sweet scent of resinous Sap moistening the sleep-glued buds, And the eternal game of lights and Shadows it plays with itself, content.

Florence Scovell Shinn

Florence Scovell Shinn

Florence Scovell Shinn (1871 - 1940) was an artist-turned spiritual teacher, healer and writer who lived in New York. She is best known for her first book "The Game of Life and how to Play it" (1925), which includes quotes from the Bible and real-life anecdotes to explain the author's understanding of God and man.

Florence Scovel Shinn may be considered a member of the New Thought movement, as her writings follow in the tradition of Phineas Quimby (1802 - 1866), Emma Curtis Hopkins (1849-1925), and Charles Fillmore (1854 - 1948) and Myrtle Fillmore (1845 - 1931), co-founders of the Unity Church.

Scovel Shinn was also a contemporary of William Walker Atkinson (1862 - 1932), James Allen (1864 - 1912) and Emmet Fox (1886 - 1951).

Scovel Shinn writes that ignorance of or carelessness with the application of various 'Laws of Metaphysics' (see below) can bring about undesirable life events.
