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.
