Here and the Ground
by Alan Harris
|
The shiny car you drive is going into the ground. All the neighborhood trees are going into the ground. Buildings, all of them, are going into the ground. Your sofa and your dog are going into the ground. But soul--have you a soul that won't go into the ground? What force can keep your essence from going into the ground? Suppose your body quits and does go into the ground-- where will your soul then be? My own says, "Here, right here. "The love that makes life life is dwelling in your here, and all you ever gave is coming back to your here. "Thing and thing and thing may be going into the ground, but where can your here ever go except--exactly here?" |
