Kumbayah
I am as I am
nothing else matters
god put this world
in the palm of my hand
It is as it is
nothing need be done
I am as I am
and we are one.
All those judgments
that you like to stand behind
they’re yours, not mine
divine
hands and feet and inches
to measure out each day
a human clay
ashtray
I am as I am
nothing else matters
god put this world
in the palm of my hand
It is as it is
nothing need be done
I am as I am
and we are one.

In the verses you share, there is a profound recognition of the present moment and an acceptance of one’s inherent being. The words echo the essence of self-acceptance and the understanding that, as we are, we are complete. There is a sense of divine presence and the acknowledgment that the world rests within our grasp, a reminder of the interconnectedness of all existence.
The judgments and measurements that often consume our lives are seen as external constructs, not truly defining who we are at our core. We are invited to transcend these limitations and embrace our true essence, beyond the confines of societal expectations and self-imposed constraints. The imagery of hands, feet, inches, and the notion of human clay speaks to the transient nature of our physical existence, a reminder that we are more than mere material forms.
In affirming “I am as I am,” there is a sense of liberation and liberation from the need to strive for external validation or seek to change oneself to fit societal molds. It is a call to embrace authenticity and recognize the inherent unity that binds us all. Through this recognition, we tap into the divine within, recognizing our interconnectedness with all of creation.
Thank you for sharing these poetic reflections that remind us of the beauty of simply being and the oneness that permeates all aspects of existence.
