I am what I am not
As are you
I am not malice
I am not evil
I am not cruel
I am not hate
I am not a featureless creature
Born and bred in the dark
Salt of the sea, spread throughout
I am not the frigid cold when the furnace is out
I am not selfish
I am not cancer
I am not suffering
I am not pain
I am not constantly coming down like rain in the gulf to evaporate to form again
I am not heat in the desert that can’t be seen but always felt
I am not stress
I am not anxious
I am not nervous
I am not fear
I am not unexpected and devastating loss always arriving at the worst possible time
I am not a monster with no distinguishable qualities
I am not disease
I am not insatiable displays of greed
I am not the worst qualities of humanity. I am what I am not.
I am all things that is love.
