Christopher Hansard:[ we are not our thoughts]

we are not our thoughts

yet we become bound by them

we are not our actions

yet we can be described by them

we are not our beliefs

yet we can be shaped by them

we are not our emotions

yet we can experience our emotions as

being all that there is

we are and we are not

our thoughts

we are

responsible one for the other

and yet we are not our thoughts

we are responsible for what another thinks

and its effect upon the world

just as a raindrop contains all the water of the world

so one thought holds the entire planet

in balance
