This mouth that is speaking.
These eyes that are seeing.
These ears that are listening.
These hands that are touching.
This mind and body that are feeling
and thinking and caught up in being
and sensing and desiring and wanting.

They are all yours,
and not yours at all.
Gifts worth giving and
always taking back.

Do not feel regret.
What is lost as loan
is not forsaken,
but will be gifted again.
