Within the Vessel

I Am the Spirit Being

[Image entitled: Spirit Being]

I am the Spirit being

That lives within my physical body,
And I have experienced much

During my sojourn on Planet Earth.

I revel in the senses

That my vehicle provides me,

From touch, to taste and sight,

On to hearing and smell.

The flowers and forests,

Lakes and rivers provide us all

With a wondrous opportunity

To explore and nurture our world.

I am the Spirit being

That lives within my physical body,

And I have traveled much

During my sojourn on Planet Earth.

I have seen the sun rise and set

From an old Ryokan on Sagami Bay,

And beheld the Shrine of the Black Madonna

Tucked away in an Einsieden monastery.

I have watched the seasons pass

From blossoming Spring to Summer,

then Autumn's colours to Winter's chill

And back again, on their epic journey.

So much, so much to see and experience

As we all travel in our vessels of clay.

Collectors of experiences and memories

As we travel through time and space.

I am the Spirit being

That lives within my physical body,

As you are the Spirit being

That lives within yours.
