Meditation Under The Oaks – 7/5/19

I am not my choices

Good or bad as they may be

For all the choices I have made

Were made of necessity.

I have become what I am

By necessity and chance

And the choices I have made

Arose from their eternal dance.

To sum it all up

With every virtue and flaw

I am what I am

An Earthly Being in Awe.
