Hot or cold…imprints on my body that I am fortunate to feel.

Happy or sad…imprints just the same, but on my heart and mind.

All sensations passing, emotions flowing remind me that I am alive.

Mindful and succinctly tuned to their rhythmic flow,

I do not push away or shut out those experiences,

but welcome every one of them

to inform, inspire, and ignite my inner light.
