Poem June 15, 1987 Issue

A wide outlook

Annette Kreutziger-Herr

Hugeness, seemingly infinite,
mysterious in darkness,
the universe without edges or end?
Anyway, something to be desired.

And then this:
Littleness, so small, so finite,
troubling in narrowness,
humanity with edges and with end!

Seems overwhelming or disarming?

Then, dear thinker, take heart, turn
around and look into
reality
infinity
immensity
with spiritual perspective.

And know this:
One thought of God is bigger than
the whole universe.
One good thought embraces all.
