my sense of purpose might
come from doing the things
that i love
and it may be true
that i feel purposeless
when i’m not accomplishing

but my contentedness and joy
in life
come from within
they do not
depend on anything
outside

and that makes the ceaseless
and unconditional quality
of my life

the clarity
that i am the source
the cultivator
the creator
of my inner state
of my outer reality
and of the connection between them
in my life
