Undiminished

How bright is the sun?

There’s nothing you can compare it to.

No words or thought can match the light.

How old is time?

Can you count all the yesterdays and guess the tomorrows?

How about space?  Can you tell me where it ends?

Infinity transcends comprehension

and despises expression,

As love defies definition.

Before such magnificent splendor, I am nothing.

But I am one with it, and it consumes me.

I cannot challenge it.  Nor can I diminish it.

Our oneness awes me.

Hold a grain of sand,

    and you know there is one less piece of sand.

Scoop a handful of water from the ocean,

    And you know there is one less handful of water there.

But catch a ray of the sun, and the sun is no less bright.

Cup your hand and hold a piece of space, and space is not diminished.

Its essence remains untouched- and untouchable.

It precedes the beginning of time, and stretches beyond its end.
