I am…

“The thought manifests as the word; The word manifests as the deed; The deed develops into habit, And habit hardens into character. So watch the thought and its ways with care, And let it spring from love, Born out of compassion for all human beings. As the shadow follows the body, As we think, so we become.” ~Buddha

I am Soul, manifested first on the promise of the holy of holies. Be his name God, Buddha, Goddess, it matters not, for the drops of the sea that stumble past the societal levies of my mind come from one source.

I am a Child of Man, birthed through water, baptism in darkness as fits the soul journey, the battle of light versus dark, that I was to embark on in this human body.

I am a Youth, walking with head held upward, a dandelion filled with wishes, but to some I am but a weed to be cut

I am an Adult, My back is marred by the sins de hombres el mundo de través, my ancestors below me and above me let it be so.

I am Old Man, The spirits are near, the hour of my death is nigh, my karma to be collected so that maybe my suffering may be ended. I say my prayers. Blessed Be.
