I Am Beautiful
by Kassandra Genovesi


I am beautiful
Beautiful. Free.
Falling in love with myself
Maybe crawling like a turtle into love with myself
Sometimes rushing, sometimes crawling
Always at the right pace
Stepping gently and deliberated into loving myself

Beautiful variety of shapes, sizes, colors, perceptions.
Variety
The trees are all different
The flowers are all different
Every cat has a different coat, size, shape, color.
Why should I be less than a tree, a flower, a cat?

Written June 16, 2004 during "Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction" with Jon Kabat-Zinn and Saki Santorelli at Omega Institute in Rhinebeck, NY.
