YOU ARE NOT THAT by (me!) sandra, tvgp
you are not your pretty face
you are not your scars
you are not the house you keep
you are not your car
you are not your business card
your illness or your health
you are a cherished child of God
ever green, beloved.
you are not what others think
based on current trends
you are loved, day in, day out
on purpose, without end
if they stuck you in a mud pit
or covered you in jewels
or plopped you in a foreign land
without any foreign tools
if they placed you on a pedestal
then kicked you off for fun
none of this
is who you are
in the eyes of God.
you are not your ignorance
and you are not your knowledge
you are a cherished child of God
ever green, beloved.

Great reminders about who we are, Sandra. Nicely expressed.
Love it, needed it. You are wonderful. :)
ren man/karma: thank you!
had to remind myself today too:
"i am not my skin rash
or the grey roots in my hair
i am not my unshaved legs
or untrimmed pubic hair...
some days it's easier to remember than others
"to paper bags & broken mirrors
~ever green, beloved!"
love, ~s.
Happy TG to you to, my dear blogging friend!
Let's agree to not shave our legs for the holiday and be thankful we have that choice. Want to do it?
