Excerpt from “Shopping at Costco, Christmas 2008”, by Larry Morris

I

see

a

vast

human being

stretching

from

ocean to ocean

and

an

infinite

inwardness:

galaxies

and

solar systems

of

inner

awareness.

Still

we

are

so

small

a

tiny

dot

in

this

vast

cosmic

landscape

always

yearning

for

home

to

feel

our

oneness

and

not

be

afraid.

Night

sky

a

thousand

billion

stars

how

many

can

you

find

inside

of

you.
