-- The Mystery of Existence --

John Herlihy

 

The mystery of existence

Lies in the mystery of being.

The mystery of being

Lies in the mystery of becoming.

 

The mystery of becoming

Lies in the mystery of something.

The mystery of something

Lies in the mystery of nothing.

 

The mystery of nothing

Lies in the mystery of the unknown.

The mystery of the unknown

Lies in the mystery of knowing.

 

The mystery of knowing

Lies in the mystery of consciousness.

The mystery of consciousness

Lies in the mystery of creation.

 

The mystery of creation

Lies in the mystery of sound.

The mystery of sound

Lies in the mystery of the Word.

 

The mystery of the Word

Lies in the mystery of “Be”

The mystery of “Be”

Lies in the mystery of existence.

 

The mystery of existence

Lies in the mystery of the visible.

The mystery of the visible

Lies in the mystery of the invisible.

 

The mystery of the invisible

Lies in the mystery of the soul.

The mystery of the soul

Lies in the mystery of the Spirit.
