Manifestation contains
that Desire
to be known. Like a deep truth
inside a lie, like the taste of butter
in buttermilk, that's how Spirit
is held in form. |

For a long
time butter stays |
invisibly present in
the churn mixture.
Then a Prophet comes with a dasher, or it might be
just someone who has heard the words of a saint
and is connected to that one as an infant is
when it hears its mother. The baby doesn't understand
language, but it knows the voice-sound,
and gradually learns what the talking means.
