Today I want to belong. I want to feel safe and at home. I want to be aware of what it is like simply to be, without defenses or desires. I will appreciate the flow of life for what it is-my own true self. I will notice those moments of intimacy with myself, when I feel that I am is enough to sustain me forever. I will lie on the grass at one with nature, expanding until my being fades into the infinite.
