Grand is the seen, the light, to me–grand are the sky and stars,
Grand is the earth, and grand are lasting time and space,
And grand their laws, so multiform, puzzling, evolutionary;
But grander far the unseen soul of me, comprehending, endowing all those,
Lighting the light, the sky and stars, delving the earth, sailing the sea,
(What were all those, indeed, without thee, unseen soul? of what amount without thee?)
More evolutionary, vast, puzzling, O my soul!
More multiform far–more lasting thou than they.

~ Walt Whitman

As grand and beautiful as the entire world can be, it is no match for the grandeur and beauty of your soul. Photo by Valiphotos

If you can just take a moment out of your busy life and away from your busy mind, what do you see? What do you feel?

The answer might leave you speechless.

Because no matter how much we try to comprehend the sky, the stars, the earth, the sea and everything in existence, one deep look at any of these will leave us amazed.

There are simply no words to describe it.

Now…think of all that, and then imagine something infinitely greater. Imagine something brighter…
