The Russian doll mystery

The large Russian doll

Have you ever seen a ‘Russian doll’? Here’s a bit of a mystery…

You open up the big one – and there’s a smaller one.

Held in the loving arms of the large one

In effect, the large one is ‘holding’ the small one.

And what happens next?

Held in the loving arms of the small one

It turns out the small one is ‘holding’ a smaller one!

And would you believe?

Held in the loving arms of the smaller one

The smaller one is also ‘holding’ an even smaller one…

The smallest one of all

The even smaller one is holding a baby

Which one are you? Are you the baby?

Are you the large one?

And if ‘God’ comes into it for you, where is 'God'?

Could 'God' even be the baby?

That's the mystery of love.
