Inspired by “The Infinite Surface of the Heart” by Sloan Waiwright, Sue Riley, & David Roth
"Ever expanding, endless canvass, the infinite surface of the heart." There is more than enough room in the circle of my heart for forgiveness, acceptance, and love.
There is more than enough room in the circle of my heart for the flowing forth of love going out in all directions to bless all persons everywhere.
There is enough room in the circle of my heart for a larger vision of life, where there is room for all of us to grow.
There is enough room in the circle of my heart for love, understanding, and protection to encircle the whole wide world.
