and here is my body,

and my body is comfortable, dry, and warm.

and here is my flesh,

nourished with delicious foods, and clean waters

and here is my soul in turmoil

turning this way and that

to face today and tomorrow and yestereday's challenges

but i am strong, and will overcome my emotions

and here is music,

and sunshine,

and beauty,

and kindness.

and today i met a good person,

and tomorrow i will meet another.

why should i feel unhappy?

that is a temporary condition,

not me -

not my state.

i am free,

and i will soar.
