Yes

The core is father to itself and all things-

First cause

Nuclear Will

Begetting all in love for the begetting

Always in motion

The Creator always creating

The point of rest at which the cosmos rests

In the balance the heart seeks out

Living, dying, living

 

This is the beginning and the end though there is no end

This is the true life of the heart

Not of itself but of that fire

Not its own word but the unutterable verb
