We Are Greater Than We Know

Rev. Jeffrey Symynkywicz, December 2, 2001

We are greater than we seem,
we oftentimes small and paltry 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,
and often, our pain of joy.
In us, all powers of Life become one.

The Spirit rises in us with amazing power,
and all at once, the dark is cast away in its glow;
the holy darkness descends over surly day
to bring to birth the deeper ministrations of our beings.

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
we are so much greater than we know.
