==Quote==

<center>Is there not one '''foundation''' upon which we all do build;

the embrace of mutual [[worship|adoration]] between Parent and child?

Does this not compose the beginning and end of all [[desire]]s,

that if we replace with another, leaves us [[exile]]d?


Then again, the returning, accomplished with but a smile,

affirming in this [[moment]] what we've known all the while,

that our riches are within us while around us we see,

perfection's evolving scenes, given to children-each of these.</center>
