The Knowing

Between the dream and the reality,

from the coming of light to the falling of the dark,

from the openness of the truth to the hiddenness of the lie,

there lurks the question.

Between the dream and the reality,

from the dawning of the day to the closing of the night,

from the glory of the cross to the depth of the pit,

there falls the shadow.

Between the dream and the reality,

from the clear-sightedness of waking to the oblivion of sleeping,

from the doubt of the question to the certainty of the knowing,

there cuts the truth.

And the truth shall make you free.
