I Am You
by Serene Martin
So much of pain exists in this world because of the sense of separation we feel between us and everything else. This one was written to inspire us to feel connected .
I am the taste of coffee on your tongue and the glass which holds it against your lips

I am the blade of the knife and the energy with which it cuts

I am your friend and the friend of your enemy
I am what I am and I am you.
