The Diamond Sutra

("...torn asunder, in a lifetime.")
Clannad

A love that
comes from the
Most High
is truly, truly
sacred,
and gives birth
as with the
Holy Three,
to a kind of third
being,
conceived like a
child,
nestled in the
hearts
of the two
principles.
And so I place
before you
a diamond
you cannot cut.
And I ask you
to ponder this
child from above,
as you fearlessly
build another altar
of sacrifice.
And finally, I
beg of you
only to remember
the Savior's warning
that "...what God

has joined

together

let no one

tear asunder."
