Whatever This Day May Bring

whether I like it or not, is perfect.
I listen to my body – or I don’t
I feed myself only when | am hungry
or I find myself wondering when I last ate -
I respond to all the requests that are made of me,
the dogs, the cats, the telephone
I receive all my messages, e-mail and facebook
participate in the activities of my friends
answer questions, negotiate resolutions
think about what to put on my to do lists
read a little, play a little, and think about
how my cells communicate with each other
through the myriad cascades of environmental stimuli
chemically bombarding them, and helping me
to become an even better mirror for the world around me.
