This is a one minute reflection of what and who I am.

I am refreshed
by the sleep that calls me nightly
I am hungry
by the needs of the engine that is me
I am inquisitive
by the creative test of life that demands to be answered
I am delighted
by the minute idiosyncrasies that humans have invented
I am flustered
by societies poor choice of priorities and stupidity that exists
I am honored
by the feedback of every person whether good or bad
I am ecstatic
by realizing I am living my goals and achieving them
I am exhausted
by the lack of logic that allows the media to dwell on the negatives
I am free
by the choice that is mine to push aside those things that hold others back
I am me
by the roads I have chosen to be my map of life.
I am. Yes I am.
by the roads I have chosen to be my map of life.
How true, how real, how sad, how soulful. How me!
