I exist as I am, that is enough,
            If no other in the world be aware I sit content,
           And if each and all be aware I sit content.
           One world is aware, and by the far the largest to me, and that is myself,
           And whether I come to my own today or in ten thousand
                        or ten million years,
            I can cheerfully take it now, or with equal cheerfulness, I can wait.


- Walt Whitman
