Do You Feel It?

Do you know what it is to feel?

Not to touch and recognize a texture,

but to feel the grains of sand against your skin,

to absorb the warmth of them,

to consider the place from which they came,

to imagine the forces of nature that left them there,

to absorb the power of the earth through the soles of your feet.

To open your mind to the small and miraculous wonders of the world,

this is to live a life of fullness.

Do you feel me?

I feel the energy of the Universe surround me,

flowing through me,

depositing notions of greatness in my mind,

urging me to push forward and put them into action,

making me a portal for the greatness of humankind,

driving me to explore the earth and the heavens with my mind,

to feel it on my skin - dirt, air, flesh,

the soul of it is close to mine,

I'm never alone as long as I keep my heart open,

I'm in touch with the wisdom of those who came before,

I need it to take it a step further,

I feel. I feel. I feel.

Pain, pleasure, loss, joy -

I enjoy all of these emotions in the form of a swelling within,

They swell and seep out of me in words and deeds.

I'm human,

I celebrate this world with you and invite you to feel it with me.
