The Essential Manifesto
I like myself
The sky is large and can hold me
My thoughts, my dreams
My pain, sorrow, grief
I love myself
The earth can support me
My fears, my hopes
My longing, love, and will
I accept myself
The Ocean is not too large to swim across
The rivers can lead me onward
The rain water my thoughts and wishes
I know myself
The wind will listen to me
The air I breathe will teach me
Too be present, heard, and spoken
I am alive
Fire will warm my bones
Calm me, hug me, and soothe me
It will feed my spirit to be one
With all that is
Within and without
