support

i am supported,
so supported.

never alone,
not possible to exist alone,
i and "my environment" are one,
one thing

life support,
biosphere,
ionosphere,
clouds
sky
air,

can you find one
person,
place
thing
that doesn't support you?

space--so supportive,
not empty

all of Arapahoe Community College
(where i've "taught art for 9 years")
every single person that works there,
security,
maintenance,
all past students,
the internet (where classes are listed and found and registered for...)

this paper,
trees...soil...a whole ecosystem,
trucks,
paper factory,
store,
oil wells...
just consider...
how long did it take to make that "oil"?

worthy,
of that,
of the entire universe,
the stars,
the burning heat
and light
of the sun,
the frozen glistening
snow of winter,
the geese flying in a "V",

worthy of gorillas and tigers,
lions, bears,
and rainforest,

of the quilt that is here
covering my toes,
its cozy warmth,
only by the hands and hearts
of a million unknown
supporters,
contributors,

in this
moment

boggling,
to the mind,
the support ROARING in

ALREADY here

endless
immeasurable
support

these eyes
see only
Love

coming to me
coming to me
coming to me

let this be a day of endless gratitude
for that is
all there is
cause for
