I Remind Myself

I consider
The earth’s crust,
Rock broken,
Weathered
To soil, to life,
To become my body;
And oceans,
Rivers, lakes, and aquifers,
Water drawn out
To become my blood;
And the atmosphere,
Blanket of winds and storms,
I breathe in the air
To fill my lungs;
The light of sun and moon
Shining in my eyes
That I might see.
I consider
That I am of stone,
And water,
And the air,
And the sun,
I live and breathe
And have vision
At the end of a long chain
Of being,
Of life.

I think I will go outside today.
