[“Life is of Spirit; and Spirit is of Love.”]

Life is of Spirit.
Spirit gives All — Life.
All come from Spirit.
Spirit is — The Source.

Life’s metaphysics:
A God-given Truth.

All — born or un-borne.

Those seen or unseen;
Those hidden, yet known;
Those absent from Self;
Yet — ever present.

Those made manifest;
Borne of sacred space;
In that space called womb;
In nature’s sanctum.

Life is of Spirit.
Spirit gives All — Life.
All come from Spirit.
Spirit is — The Source.

[“Life is of Spirit; and Spirit is of Love.”]
