And sometimes when I move
at the edge of a greatness—
a lake or a sea or a mountainside—
my insignificance thrills me
and the largest of my sadnesses
dwindles smaller than the space
between grains of sand
and in that moment,
knowing my place,
comes a love so enormous
I can love anyone, anyone,
even myself.
oh my! provocative! awe-some! empowering! probably other qualities, too, hidden in those lines….
awww, thank you, Carol, what a lovely response!
