Soul Sea

Soul Sea

Every creature

you ever see,

and every creature

you never see

has awareness

and a soul.

All around you

in the air,

filling full

every sea

and deep, deep

into the ground

under your feet

are things alive

each with awareness

and a soul.

The secret, my friends,

is that Mother Earth

is a blue orb

filled completely full of life,

---much more so than most

ever happen to imagine.

Like fish never aware

of the waters they swim

We each

wander Mother Earth

minding our phone bills

or figuring out

how to buy a better car

never realizing

we all live

in a vast Soul Sea.
