Hallowed Paradox

You are the light and the dark…
You seek absent from looking…
You are the lion’s courage balanced by the mouse’s fear…
You love not knowing favor…
You trust not requiring faith…
You sing loudly from silence…
You act without needing action…
You teach wisdom from gentle kindness…
You are the beginning and the end…
You are the nameless name…
You are me, us and we…
