I am

The world is small and quiet and infinite and limitless.

Have no fear for I am always there
under every stone teeming with life,
streaming through the veil of the lake's surface
where the koi thrive in plenitude and grandeur.

 One second in time shared by millions is a powerful moment.
I am that moment multiplied by millennia.
