The Om Of I Am

The Om of I Am
By: Nikki Williams

This poem was written to remind us of how we need to simply "be" without the chaos of crazy thoughts and worries that enter our minds. Our purpose in life will unfold in the silence.

It was partially inspired by a talk by Rev. Rob Robinson at Unity Village Chapel on "just being", partially by the lovely fresh flowers that Miss Diane (whose last name I never remember) creates every Sunday, and partly inspired by a crystal singing bowl played in a time of group meditation at a drumming circle by Mrs. Linda Chubbuck. I found my center that day, after having misplaced it for a long while.

I am…
I am…

Tiny seed
Carried on gentle breeze blowing.
The velvety softness of earth’s loving arms,
Embrace me, enfold me, enrich me and mold me
Inhaling the stillness I’m safe from all harm.
Not thinking.
Not feeling.
Just knowing and being.
I grow…
Take root in earth’s nurture,
I grow…

I am…
I am…


With roots delving deeper to ground me and guide me
I plant firm my being in Gaia’s embrace.
Shooting past warmth and sweet silence of darkness,
To silvery brightness, the light on my face.
Not thinking.
Not feeling.
Just knowing and being.
I flow…
With eternal changes
I flow.

I am…
I am…


Refreshing life waters
Come swiftly in torrents
Of glistening crystalline raindrops release
I breathe in the cradling oneness of nature,
My own divine purpose unfolding before me…
Not thinking.
Not feeling.
Just knowing and being.
I glow.
With each diamond dewdrop
I glow.

I am…
I am…


Roots planted firmly in Mother’s connection,
Stretching and reaching for heaven above.
Blossoming glory in divine perfection.
In radiant abundance I express God’s love.

Take in my sweet beauty;
Just one tiny flower,
Yet here I am proudly fulfilling my dream.
ALL things from God cometh,
Even one little flower,
A shining example of God’s smiling gleam.
Not thinking.
Not feeling.
Just knowing and being.
I show,
To the Universe God’s face,
I show.

I am…

I am……..
