Abba of the Ages

Eternity, where Immanence-transcendance mutually reinforce. When alien is at home, the desert in the sea. While impossible to seek, knowing is bestowed and all elect, the sons of art. Here invention's noble thrust sujects itself to faith in vanity the measure of depth a evanescent film, and piety the shallowest of all. Abba-beyond all time and space, closer than a heartbeat- resides in secret, non-invasive, distant the needs of flesh and yet divinely intimate. Duality unknown, can view with equanimity the blood-soaked pores from Nazareth, evoking tears of joy. Abba-let us speak of love but first in cultivated awe acquire the power to fail, to scale the pinnacle of childhood and view with newer eyes a lovliness remote and inaccessible to those who seek the stars. ~
