A meditation from the Gospel of the Essenes,ISBN 85207 135 3
Know ye too, that only through the written word
Shalt thou find the law which is unwritten,
As the spring which floweth from the ground
Hath a hidden source in the secret depths beneath the earth.
The written law is the intrument by which
The unwritten law is understood.
Many there are who would stay in the tranquil
Valley of ignorance where children play
And butterflies dance in the sun for thier short hour of life.
But none can tarry there long,
And ahead rise the sombre mountains of learning.
Many there are who fear to cross,
And many there are who have fallen bruised and bleeding
From their steep and rugged slopes.
Beyond the icy peaks of struggle lies the peace and beauty
Of the infinite garden of knowledge
Where the meaning of Law is made known.
