The human soul is like a microcosm of the macrocosm, an inner inverse that corresponds to the infinity of the outward universe.*
Philip Newell

Our current social systems have not yet been set up to prepare us to live a life of true purpose. Today’s culture exists not to nurture our highest aspirations, but to perpetuate the status quo. We need to move out of the small stories we have held about ourselves and the human race.**
Clarissa Pinkola Estés

Could it be that
human possibility
lies in the growing of the soul?

Not something
to be found on
the school curriculum–

Nor registering
with courses on continuing
personal development–

Yet celebrated by
the best of religion, spirituality, and
philosophy–

May we have
high aspirations for ourselves
and those around us–

May we step out
of the smaller stories and
unfurl with the universe–
