Students of the Instant

March 19, 2013

I was born because I wanted to be born.

I live because I want to live.

Two drops of rain, my little seed and the light of the sun.

My will opens a path for me toward that radiance

My courage drives me to grow up through the undergrowth.

All my actions are ruled by that fire of life.

Whim is any force that pushes me in other directions.

Discipline is recognizing whims and letting them pass.

Neither surrendering to nor opposing the voices that persuade me.

Comfort lures me at times like a deceptive vine.

But I learn to live with pragmatic strategy and sobriety.

Honoring the vibrant flame of life that I am.

Loving myself so much that I dare to change and grow.

So grateful that I want to outdo myself and improve.

To infinity and right here.
