When you are met with yourself
try and remember this
(thought it is really hard):

You are whole.

You are whole,
even though you are hurting,
even if you feel like nothing
will ever be right —

You are whole.

You are the whole Earth
all her beauty and complexity
and wounding —
craving truth to set you free
from lifetimes of bondage
to rules made of fear.

You are everyone and everyone is you.

You are the trees, roots digging deep
into the flesh of the earth, embracing,
grabbing, needing her.

In your wholeness, you are broken
In your wholeness, you are fragmented
In your wholeness, you are the setting sun,
the rising sun, and the stars that create
what we can see of what lies beyond.

You are whole.
