It's a post-apocalyptic world.

I'm sitting on a high up ledge overlooking the city,

Seated in my meditation position.

Trauma swirls all around me and trauma swirls inside of me.

So I choose to sit.

I sit with what I can't control and I sit with what I can control.

Equanimity allows me to be exactly where I am despite the trauma rising up around and inside of my soul.

I am not my thoughts.

I'm not my past actions.

I'm deeper than that.

I can allow myself to heal.

I can allow myself to be.

I am strong.

I am courageous.

I can be with this.

I am body strength.

And I am enough,

Just as I am.
