As I Am, So This World Is

Grenadier Pond by Wanda Gould

The world I see all around me

Is the world that is inside me

And as I am slowly becoming

So the world is slowly becoming around me.


I cannot look outside for a way, a teaching,

Because I only see reflections of myself.

Only when I am silent and still

Do I glimpse the truth of Being.


As I Am

So this world is

And so I understand —


There is no outside in this Universe.

Everything is inside.
