Mantra

[polydad]

I felt a need for a mantra for myself. I don't think of myself as a poet, but I do think of myself as someone who does whatever needs doing. So I wrote it.  Here it is; your critique and input are solicited:

Mantra

I am the world.

When I eat, I don’t say my mouth eats, I say *I* eat.

I am the part of the world with which I can act.

I will act.

I will

Isn't a mantra a short sound or phrase to be repeated over and over? How about "I am here to create"?

Longer than my usual mantra.

I tend to slim it down word wise so it easily becomes a part of me. If that works for you I would pick the part that compels you the most and let that represent the writing piece in it's entirety.
