Source

Source entered the English language in the mid 1300s to mean ‘support, base’, later that century meaning ‘first cause, origin’. Etymologically, the Source is something that has surged up, a most appropriate word to denote the way that Life bubbles up from the Divine Origin of the Universe, like a sparkling fountain, in the Eternal Now.
