How big is the soul?

 

How big is the soul?

How big is that thing that makes us whole?

 

How big is the soul of an elephant?

or the soul of an ant?

How big is the soul of a tree?

or a tiny plant?

 

Is the soul of a coward any smaller than that of the brave?

Does soul size really relate to the way we behave?

 

Are there millions of souls, or only just one?

Can a soul fit inside a cell or even an atom?

 

How big is the greatest thing in the universe?
