I am mountain

I am budding tree

I am crumbling rock,

Raging river,

Ebb and tide.

I am moon,

I am fading flower,

Eternal dance,

Ephemeral song.

I am spirit hovering over the deep.

I am form and formless.

I am Alpha and Omega,

Beginning and end and

All the nows in between

World without end.

One day this form will pass away, but who I am can never die.

I am the cosmos,

the stuff of stars.

I am life,

the universal Christ in me,

Created in God's image,

part of all creation,

yet never ending,

always existing.

I am that I am.

I am, but though I exist now in this limited body,

I am eternal.

I am connected to the whole of creation.

We are one.

I am the wind.

I am the red-tailed hawk upon the breeze.

I am the awareness.

I am peace, stillness, joy, love.

I am my brothers and sisters and mother and father.

I am my "enemy".

I am all and none.

I am the dash on my gravestone!

I am the space between those etched, but fleeting years.

Knowing this, I am free!

I am that I am, now.

I always am.
