I am.

I am… a human being,

Therefore, I am compassion.

I am a lotus flower helping those around me reach their full bloom,

I am.

I am… a piece of Mother Nature herself,

Therefore, I am beauty.

I am as beautiful as lightning striking the tops of mountains and the sunrise in the fog that settles afterward,

I am.

I am… a single soul among millions and billions settled on a miniscule scale,

Therefore, I am life.

I am one among many that represents everything that I have seen to everything I will see.

I am.

I am… a person.

Therefore, I am myself.

I am all the knowledge I have gained and all words that I have spoken, a trail blazed across the lives of the people I have touched and loved.

I, simply, am.
