The Image Of God In An Inner Sanctuary Poem by Dr. Antony Theodore

The depth of our soul contains,
in its freedom and intellectuality,
the image of God.

Freedom and understanding
are so to speak united in
that summit of the soul
which we call the spirit,
as though in an inner sanctuary
from which they come forth
to act in our every day life.
