Deep Within

Deep within me lives the world.

Deep within me I feel being.

Deep within me I hold it all.

Deep within me is the universe.

I am conscious but also unconscious.

A piece of music can pierce my soul and start a waterfall of tears.

A thought, a feeling can uplift my soul and send me to the sun and the moon

So that I sit on a ray or a star.

I am blessed. 

I have been blessed. 

I am grateful.

I will always be grateful for the love and beauty in my life.

Let me never take anything or any blessing for granted.

God, Being, Love Substance envelop me.

They are all. 

They are mighty

They are one. 

I adore my glimmer of them.

I feel my smallness as I contemplate their greatness.

But I feel my capacity to stretch as I recognize that I am created by and that I am

part of whatever is.

What a blessed awareness.
