You Matter

You matter

Everything you think matters
Everything you speak matters
Everything you do matters

Everything you eat matters
Everything you read matters
Everything you listen to matters
Everything you watch matters
Everything you purchase matters

Everything you express matters
Everything you don’t express, matters

All the ways you take care of your body and mind matter
Because taking care of yourself allows you do help others do the same
And in taking care of ourselves,
We take care of our loved ones, our communities, our countries and our world
When we illuminate ourselves, we illuminate all beings, we illuminate the planet

You matter
You are connected to everything, to all that is-
And so are your thoughts, words and deeds
Thank you for taking care of yourself
And in doing so, taking care of me and we and us and them and the plural You.

You matter
You matter to me
