I am…the moonlight dancing on the water

I am…the baby whale leaping for joy

I am…the sunrise thru the clouds

I am…the belly laugh of a child

I am…the deep stillness of the first snowfall

I am…the depths of the starry sky

I am…the balmy ocean breeze

I am…the splendor of Fall

I am…the tender heart of a small child

I am…the fierce warrior of a mother protecting her child

I am…the ancient crackling campfire

I AM.

— Mary Kobe

I am the open heart of the Divine

I am the love of the world

I am the welcome mat at the door

I am the troubled mind

I am the aching body

I am the wind that blows

I am the spoon bill

I am the green tree, ancient, deep rooted,

a place of home and beauty

I am the unwavering stone

I am the eyes of the beloved

I am the redness of fire

I am the sword that protects

I am the arrogant ignorant

I am the surrendered servant

I am the void in which I dwell

I am the listening

I am it all

I am the friend I seek

I am the friend you seek

I am the fearful feeling

I am the deep breath that relaxes

I am the rocking pelvis

I am the kinked hose of spirit

I am the seeker of pleasure

I am the seeker of free flow

I am the endless flight.

— Andrew Horwood

I am joy. I am joyful.

I am peace. I am peaceful.

I am love. I am lover.

Come near to this fire and

melt all your icy places,

that we may dance, laugh

and sing!!

— Ajna

I am spilling over the table onto the floor

around your shoes, under your chair

and out through the exit door.

I am the breeze tickling your toes.

Where I am moves light things

in my path

brushing flowers, jiggling tulips,

bouncing cottonwood puffs,

swishing nasal hairs.

There is an ocean of air in which

I am influencing with my

almost weightless, velvet fingers.

I am the breeze.

— Michael Puharich

I AM JOY —

the whisper of the breeze amongst the

glistening sweet leaves of giant treetops.

I AM THE SUN —

that calls forth the day in the Universe —

calling forth man and beast to rise from sleep

and begin again.

I AM THE MOON — that glows high up

in the sky with a full heart and bright bright smile.

I AM — the center of hot molten lava,

bubbling a brewing beneath layers

of earth — preparing energies and mixtures

to rise upward finding a way to

the surface.

I AM — the quietness of still

evenings that brings rest and peace.

I AM — a meditation bringing absolute

silence into being.

— Kate Barrett-Leonard

I am mountains of glory, streams of tears,

trees of heartache

I am birds flying through broken walls of separation

I am jagged edges softening into profuse connectedness

I am luxurious timelessness

I am fuzzy concave caverns of escape

from lack of love

I am nurturing, enduring silence

I am lacy, delicate vulnerability

I am transparent, revealing grace.

— Uma Faith

I am the shoes on my feet, walking

I am toes dancing

I am bells jingling

I am ears hearing

I am a head turning

I am thoughts flowing

I am chaos and I am Peace

I am that I might be.

— Lynn Turner

I am the wave on the beach

I am the morning crow in the rooster

I am the light of the moon on the lake

I am the sparkle in the child’s eye

I am an elder’s chuckle

I am the dust off an elephant’s back

I am the starting gun of the race

I am the cricket in the night

I am the surging water in Hell’s Gate

I am the blind corner in the canyon

I am the strength of mountain hail

visited on the plains

I am the lightening of a summer’s night

I am the cry of the hound in the hunt

I am the sounds of birds welcoming sleep.

—Hugh Duff

I am the rain that falls on my meadows.

I am the grass growing on my meadows.

I am the small crawlers in the grass on my meadows.

I am the deer, the elk, the badgers, the mice,

the voles, the mice living on my meadows.

I am the bald eagles and red tail hawks flying above my meadows.

I am the skulkers in the shadows—the foxes,

the bears, the mountain lions prowling my meadows.

I am the cows who grace on the grass growing on my meadows.

I am the River running through my meadows.

I am my family harvesting hay on my meadows—baling it, stacking it, feeding it

to the cows on a frigid winter day.

I am my children frolicking on my meadows.

I am the sun bathing my meadows in unobstructed light.

I am the snow swaddling my meadows in blue light.

I am the sustenance of the earth.

— Mary K. McElroy (owner of 5^th generation cattle ranch in the Colorado mountains)

I am love

I am longing

I am joy and sorrow

I am the soil that grows

I am touch

I am communion

I am the flow of life

I am hope

I am laughter

I am the sky

I am rain

I am sunset

I am stillness

I am all.

I AM your tears,

the passion spilling out of your eyes

I AM the gaze of Aiden’s eyes,

hurting and yet at peace

I AM the shining reeds along the water

I AM the fierce love that swells in your breast

I AM the touch of your husband at the small of your back

I AM the outrage of greed and politician roadblocks

I AM your grandmother’s eyes

I AM Melesa’s heartache, body pain, soiled promises of cure

I AM

I AM hiding under the table or the bed

I AM the longing that aches within you

I AM swelling in you

I AM the field beyond the barbed wire

I AM the invitation to the community, one by one, to engage in love

I AM the chain of responsibility for the land

I AM the land constantly purifying itself from chemicals and overuse

I AM the house, the homestead, calling for respect and honor

I AM fun socks

— Anonymous

I AM

White fire on the crown

I am walking naked earth

on the souls of my feet

Clear rose quartz of heart energy

I am the red lava of change

Endless peace of deep river

I am black backdrop of universe cradling stars

I Am within the cynic, the judger, the lost one

And I long to come out of the hidden places

I am the Truth of you

— Larry Pearlman

I am a jester making the king laugh,

I am HRM Himself

I am lost in the woods,

I am the tree you remember

and find your way home

I am a gaping whole,

a volcanic caldera spewing gut-wrenching fumes

I am Fuji

I am the whole damn thing

— Bill Crosman

I am the ridiculous

I am the water in the wind

and the wind upon the water

I am the headache behind your

eyes, the Light inside your Being

I am the phrase that waits inside

your soul, longing to be free

I AM HEAVEN I AM EARTH

I am the space, the You

that lives in The In Between

I AM WHERE all your energies meet

I AM WHERE

I AM—

I am divine.

I am the lark in the tree

I am the water in the lake, the disa at the Falls.

I am the leopard in the mountain,

the eagle in the sky.

I am the owl at night, the moan in the heavens.

I am a bringer of love, a generator of light.

I am the spirit of laughter, a bridge of love.

I am the voice of God calling in the universe.

I am the initiator and the responder.

I am a singer of His song

I am the music of the spheres.

I am that I am.

I AM…

I am the wind in my face.

I am the wild flowers.

I am the tree at the water’s edge,

leaves rustling in the wind.

I am the lake.

I am the sound of the waves

splashing against the curving shore.

I am the love you’ve longed for.

I am the love I’ve longed for.

I am love.

I am all that is.

I am the sorrow, the sadness,

the illness, the loss,

the pain and the grief.

I am that.

I am acceptance, resilience,

the life on the other side of suffering.

I am your deepest joy.

I am my deepest joy.

I am joy.

I am love and joy

and the fullness of life.

Touch me.

Join me.

Be me.

I am the glisten of water on the leaf

I am the thunder of the waterfall

I am the heat of day, insisting,

bringing creation forth.

I am bright and capable.

I am a teacher.

— Janat Dundas

I am the mystic and the prophet

I am the Divine Feminine, trustworthy

I am the Feminine, not so trustworthy

I am the rose sweet-scented and delicate

I am the gravel, coarse and sharp-edged

at times but a layered firm foundation

I am the four forces, yin and yang,

balanced and unbalanced

I am a being of light come into human

Form to allow transformation

I am the question and the answer

I AM

— Patricia Gursu

I am the Water bursting forth from

the frothy surf as it beats upon the

delicate sands of a distant shore and

recedes back into the sea lifting the

veils dripping off the naked beauty

of our Mother Earth.
