I CAN REMEMBER THAT YOU ARE NOT CLAY FOR ME.

I can remember you are not clay for me. You are not for me.  You belong only to you.  I belong only to me.   Whether you are my friend, my enemy, my beloved or my child, my parent or my brother or sister or my neighbor, my customer or someone I need to protect myself from or someone who needs porotection from me.  I have no say about you.  I have say only about me.  I have say about what comes from my mouth and what I do with my body.   I have say about what I do with my focus and attention.  I have say about what I spend my time doing and who I choose to spend my time with.  I have say about where I put my eyes, were I focus my ears and which direction I step.  I have say about what I eat and what I drink.  I can remember you are not clay for me. 

I can remember that I am not clay for me.  I deserve the same respect I give to you from my self.  I deserve not to be pushed around by my self, abused by myself or belittled or harassed by myself.  I deserve encouragement and respect from myself as a child would deserve the same from it’s parent. You also deserve this from me.

I can remember that I am not clay for you. I can remember that what I let into my body (into my mouth, my ears or any other part of my body) from the outside is always and only my choice.
