To Be Healthy

To be healthy
is to dwell in the world
without resistance—
the body unburdened,
the mind at ease.

It is
to be able to carry out
what calls to me each day,
without hesitation or struggle.

Even if I stray beyond my limits,
health means being able to return—
to rest,
and to feel whole again.

It is to be attuned
to the rhythms of the world:
weather, place, and time—
not estranged,
but at home.

To face hardship,
not as a threat to my being,
but as something I can bear—
drawing strength from my groundedness.

And so,
to say “I am healthy”
is not to notice the body,
but to find myself immersed—
in doing, in relating, in being.

To be healthy
is to know myself
not through control,
but through harmony—
to act from within
the scope of my possibilities,
and to move toward meaning
with quiet satisfaction.
