And I have felt a presence that disturbs me

And I have felt
A presence that disturbs me with the joy
Of elevated thoughts; a sense sublime
Of something far more deeply interfused,
Whose dwelling is the light of setting suns,
And the round ocean and the living air,
And the blue sky, and in the mind of man:
A motion and a spirit, that impels
All thinking things, all objects of all thought,
And rolls through all things.

Wordsworth - Tintern Abbey

Tintern Abbey is a favourite poem of mine and expresses the Spirit that pervades creation and is our own deepest reality.

PS Many of the Christian Mystics share a common understanding of non-duality with their Buddhist and Hindu
counterparts.
