Truth is within ourselves; it takes no rise
From outward things, whate’er you may believe.
There is an inmost center in us all,
Where truth abides in fullness; and around,
Wall upon wall, the gross flesh it in,
This perfect, clear perception—which is truth.
A baffling and perverting carnal mesh
Binds it, and makes all error; and to know,
Rather consists in opening out a way
Whence the imprisoned splendour may escape,
Than in effecting entry for a light
Supposed to be without.
—Robert Browning, “Paracelsus.” Part I
…Ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free (John 8:32).
Father, let the light that you placed within us; shine in on us and out on others so that darkness is swallowed up in its radiance. And let that light guide our paths to the Eden waiting on us. As within, so without.
Shining on,
Z gardener
