We are greater than we know

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, September 28, 2008

We are greater than we know,
we oftentimes small and trifling beings,
men and women who walk
but few years upon this earth.

For there is shining within our souls
an illimitable light, a greater force,
a speck of the fire born at the Creation,
which magnifies our beings and makes them whole.

Even in our smallness, our greatness sings.
Our brokenness itself speaks of wholeness;
often, our very pain speaks of the joy that lies beyond.
Within us, the powers of Life at last become one.

The Spirit rises in us with amazing power,
and suddenly all darkness is cast away.
The holy darkness descends over surly day
and ushers forth the deeper ministries of our spirits.

We are so small, and yet
there beat within us hearts as strong
as that thundering fire that shook the heavens
and brought this world to birth.

We are so small, and yet

the light of God shines forth in the simplest smile;

the voice of God in our souls reminds us, constantly,
that we are so much greater than we know.
