We Make the World

PEBBLE
You are not a drop in the ocean;
you are the entire ocean, in a drop.-Rumi
 
BOULDER
The world was made
with a you-shaped hole in it.
In that way
you are important.
In that way
you are here to make the world.
In that way
you are called.-Tara Sophia Mohr

 

 

Up in the mountains

it is easy to feel small

mountains soar

trees reach to the sky

the canyons open to the center of the eart

 

Down in the valley

it is easy to feel small

so much to do

so little time

so much complication

so few answers

 

and yet    

we are sacred

or rather the sacred is in us

and we are led

moment by moment

choice by choice

down a path that is ours alone

 

and every action

every word

every smile

that we  offer along the way

 

shapes the world

 

along the way

we who are small

and yet are all

heal hearts

and souls 

and minds

 

and fill the space

the place 

created just for us
