I am larger

I am larger, better than I thought,

I did not know I held so much goodness.

              Walt Whitman, “Song of the Open Road”

Funny

How when my soul is empty

When I am out of touch with Sacred Presence

And out of touch with my self

I shrink

Collapsing in upon myself

But when I am full

Of Sacred love

Crammed with God

I am opened up expanded

And all the universe

Can come into

My

Soul
