Auguries Of Innocence - William Blake


To see a World in a Grain of Sand

And a Heaven in a Wild Flower,

Hold Infinity in the palm of your hand

And Eternity in an hour.


- This is an excerpt which I think holds its own as a poem. Look at the world as if it was brand new again! As we grow into adults, we become so used to the world we forget to be amazed by something as seemingly simple as a flower, even though we don't understand what makes that flower grow. It is the same Source and Energy which keeps our hearts beating and wakes us into the world each day. The sand, the flowers are a tiny spark of the divine mystery...and so are we.
