I am from sunlight and small grass shadows.

I am from the barn tucked under the lip of the hill, waiting for someone to bring another creature.

I am from green leaves and people who do things for others.

I am from loving and respecting animals, creatures of the world.

I am from kindness and love, from depression and shadows, from mothers and fathers and children and pets.

I am from Iowa and Kansas and an Ashram in Colorado.

I am from divinity.

That was a very grounded statement of your origins. Well done and to the point. Importance.

Very interesting that you begin each line with I AM-- in a sense also an indicator of timeless divinity. Now I am wondering-- do you consider yourself personally divine (in the Emersonian- or Whitman- sense) or are you taking a more traditional western-- or eastern-- stance? Very interesting.

There was an open call a few weeks ago that was something to the effect of completing the statement, "I am from..." I started this poem then, and finished it today, if anything is ever finished while it is still living.
Cathy, Words ground me. I appreciate you very much, and think of your laugh when I think of Colorado or California.
Brian, Thank you. You are steady and I love to see you here.
Cindy, Thanks! What a nice comment.
Jeffrey, I speak of the timeless divinity that is within all of us. It is what unites us, and leads us with love. I think it is in the eastern/western sense. Thank you for stopping.
