DIVINE PARADOX

I.          Truth revealed

            Truth reveiled

            Darkness illumined

            Light concealed

            Divine darkness

            Holy light

 

            Silence shouted

            Thunder whispered

            Transcendence approached

            Uncontainable contained

            Divine paradox

            Holy wisdom

 

II.        What is, is not

            What is not, is

            Dead are alive

            Living are dead

            Weak are strong

            Strong are weak

            Wise are fools

            Fools are wise

 

            More is less

            Less is more

            One is divided

            Divided are one

            Volumes say nothing

            Silence says all

            Divine paradox

            Holy Wisdom
