I will heal
And not harm
I will love
And not hate
I will restore
And not demolish
I will help
And not hurt
I will seek to understand
And not judge or dismiss
I will grow
And not stagnate
I will be respectful
And not rude
I will be compassionate
And not cruel
I will have empathy
And not apathy
I will be mindful
And not heedless
I will be strong
And not weak
I will be courageous
And not cowardly
I will dare to dream
And not relinquish hope
I will be open-minded
And not closed shut
I will plant peace
And not strife
I will inspire
And not crush
I will thrive
And not be thwarted
I will live in the moment
And not dwell in the past or on the future
I will cherish my loved ones, animals, and Mother Earth
And never take any of them for granted
I will embrace my uniqueness
And never be generic
I will make magic
And not malignancy
I will create
And not destroy
I will be free
And never confined
I am a free spirit
Who is grateful
For my life and freedom . . . today~
Where do such things manifest?
