Great Full

I am full of greatness today.  As I carve out root vegetables for the roasting pan.  When I cover the too-big ham with foil for the oven.  Rolling out the dough to fill with berries I picked from my friend’s back yard.  Opening my door for dear friends.  Laughing at little jokes, making yummy noises through dinner.

And being filled with greatness as I tenderly touch the photos of my dog now gone.  Lay a place for my parents who dance above the table and whisper in my ear from the other side.  Send soft love to my siblings who remain out of touch.  Soothe myself for so many many regular mistakes I seem to make.  Kiss my reflection in the mirror that seems still such a stranger to me.

When She, He, It, The Great Nothingness, All That Is, the Creator, Gaia, and the screaming blue jay on the fence sings through me, washing my blood and body, heart and soul, like a heavenly river, I am filled with greatness and flow.
