The Instrument and Profound Expression of Life

Somewhere deep within
there is a firmer, simpler, warmer
human being.
This human being trusts
this human being accepts both
the limits that give a human dignity,
and the talents that the world awaits.
Somewhere deep within
there is a purpose that cannot be shaken,
a love that no longer fears,
and a wisdom that ennobles life.
This human being is both
the instrument,
and the profound expression
of life.
