"Take pride not in love for yourselves but in love for your fellow-creatures. Glory not in love for your country, but in love for all mankind."
Baha’u’llah1

The "Blog City ~ Every Blogger's Paradise"  prompt for DAY 1568
What does the idea of global living mean to you, and do you think it is wise and doable?

World citizen

I am a citizen of the planet,
a citizen of Earth,
who was born in the United States of America,
in the state of Oklahoma,
in the city of Blackwell;
as a teenager
I moved from Blackwell to Shawnee,

I now live
in the state of Nevada,
in the city of Las Vegas,
and I am still a citizen of the planet.

I am a world citizen,
who attempts to live her life globally
while remaining in the nation of her birth.
