427. I AM AN ORPHAN
Adam and EveHad no human parents;
Yet
They were not orphans,
For God the divine Father became their Father
And
God the divine Mother became their Mother.
I
Have two visible and tangible parents;
Yet
I am an orphan,
For my father
Does not know how to feed me with wisdom-light,
And
My mother
Does not know how to feed me with concern-might.
