Soul within Soul within Soul

If anyone asks you to say who you are, say without hesitation,

soul within soul within soul

You’ve got soul

Our souls participate in the Sacred

More soul

the Sacred is everywhere

our souls are in our body

but our souls reach out

to touch creation

and yes,

the Soul

that is Creator

creating

and thus we are linked

intimately

to the divine within

to the divine without

and thus we are transfigured

and those we meet

are transfigured

no longer white, or black

Christian or Muslim

old or young

male or female

we are all precious souls

and we are part of

we belong

to each

other
