I Am

Relation is the essence of everything that exists. - Meister Eckhart

I am
the grass
the shrubs
and the trees

I am
the blue jay and crow
the chicken, the finch
the tiny hummingbird

I am
the cricket trapped in the sink
the shriveled worm on the sidewalk
the stinkbug and granddaddy long legs on the screen

I am
the 300-pound guy lifting weights
the little old lady on the stationary bike
the men with walking sticks

I am
the rising sun
the pink clouds at sunset
the afternoon breeze

I am
my sister
my children
my husband in heaven

I am
