Father Azlan

“Father Azlan, why do you appear as a lion?”

“I do not,” he gently said.



“But your name, is a name, whose meaning is lion.”

 “This is not my name -but what you call me.”

"My name is sea,
it is mountain and tree,
it is light, it is space,
and the substance it fills ...
it is water - it is bell,
it is the tide of life itself,
- of knowledge, of love -of will.

And by this Grace,
and that Virtue,
and all we call Divine, these names for this eternity are also thee and thine.

 -Gabriel Brunsdon, Puck in Hell, Azlander series

  1. "Sweep away the Illusion of Time; glance, if thou have eyes, from
    the near moving-cause to its far distant Mover: The stroke that came
    transmitted through a whole galaxy of elastic balls, was it less a
    stroke than if the last ball only had been struck, and sent flying? Oh,
    could I (with the Time-annihilating Hat) transport thee direct from
    the Beginnings, to the Endings, how were thy eyesight unsealed, and thy
    heart set flaming in the Light-sea of celestial wonder! Then sawest thou
    that this fair Universe, were it in the meanest province thereof, is in
    very deed the star-domed City of God; that through every star, through
    every grass-blade, and most through every Living Soul, the glory of a
    present God still beams. But Nature, which is the Time-vesture of God,
    and reveals Him to the wise, hides Him from the foolish.
