12859 - ἐκεῖνον δεῖ αὐξάνειν, ἐμὲ δὲ ἑλαττοῦσθαι

N. Lygeros
Translated from the Greek by Evi Charitidou

If you think for a while
over John’s work
how great it was
for the Son to come
and you understand
how small it is
in relation to the work
then you too will be able
to help it
become
even greater
through Time
and history of the future
of Humanity;
because it is only
on the shoulders of the others
that we become great
whereas we are small;
and it is only in this way
that we lift the light.
