These are the two lines that most strike me on this reread, the latter feels like an awakening of awareness, how one can be made small by the majesty of the universe and consciousness.
Also, I love the abrupt ending we have with the gap and then "The dog curled by me side." It feels like it grounds everything back to how beautifully simple and peaceful reality can be.
I love the way the first lines and the last lines make a very beautiful poem-within-a-poem. It warms and quiets my soul today.
Love it. I do love a bookended poem…
the smallest details, the biggest feeling
So often so true
Gold not yet touching
and every conception I have.

Big and small and everything in between…
