On Self-Actualization

A community I can count on, go to without a care, find those I love. A man I can count on, who inspires me, reaches me far beyond the presence of my own self, shows me the world. A family who is healthy, and as they are, as they are.  A village of culture, art, music, theatre (at its best inexpensive). A profession that keeps me independent, inspired, constantly learning and engaged. A good meal. A good night's sleep. Wake up with energy to start the day. Different ways to sweat. See the world. To jump in the pool and feel the water. Feel my breath.
