A Thought
Years ago- when still in High School- I remember reading the poem Renascence by Edna St. Vincent Millay. A few months ago I came across the closing portion of it at Inward/Outward. I post it today because it makes sense and speaks to hope.

The world stands out on either side
No wider than the heart is wide;
Above the world is stretched the sky,
No higher than the soul is high.
The heart can push the sea and land
Farther away on either hand;
The soul can split the sky in two,
And let the face of God shine through.
But East and West will pinch the heart
That can not keep them pushed apart;
And he whose soul is flat - the sky
Will cave in on him by and by.
