I’m not a marathoner (legs too short…)

I’m not a marathoner (legs too short…)
The pole vault or high jump are completely out of the question (legs too short…)
As is the shot put or javelin (no arms…)
But I am a gold medalist in bush diving.

I understand my limitations completely…
Because I don’t need anything more, I am truly rich…
Knowing who I am is what makes me wise…
And allows me to never be disappointed.

It’s kind of like watching the sunset…
It’s different depending on where you are standing on the hill…
I was born and bred in the high country…
So, I always climb to the summit.

People problems don’t get to me…
They just ricochet off my armor of self-awareness…
Each morning, I return to the original thread…
And follow it all the way home.

So, stop shouting to make yourself heard…
Step back from those frightening cliffs…
Take more time to relax into yourself…
And when you accept who you are, you will find safe passage.

I love you,

Annie
