[Philip once said:
“Lord, show us the Father and
it is enough for us.”
Do you want the marrow
out of which goodness springs?
Do you want the nucleus
from which goodness flows?
Do you want the root,
the vein, from which goodness exudes?
And all beauty?
Then you want the Creator.
And you want your breakthrough.
For remember this:
The shell must be cracked open
if what is inside is to come out.
If you want the kernel,
You must break the shell.
We must learn to break through things
If we are to grasp God in them.]
