Today you will concentrate on your inner life
(rather than celebrating your outer life),
and you will be celebrating the beauty
that lies in the small, cosmic kernel of life
that is inside you. You will once again
feel the power and flow of inner life
into the world surrounding you, as you
go to work on your inner and outer life.

Ghazal written for NaPoWriMo day 21.
Maybe a bit heavy on the inner/outer life stuff and in general, and pale with abstraction, but so be it.
Brought about partially by my daily horoscope, which said, “The day ahead should be a pleasant one, Iself. For the next few days your inner life will interest you more than usual. You may not necessarily become a psychoanalyst, but you will be tempted to seek insight into some of life's more profound motivations. In fact, you become a fervent truth-seeker in all areas of your life. It could be an especially valuable opportunity to learn why you feel so shy and inhibited in public. Perhaps this way you can overcome it.”

At least you stuck to the rules - except you're short of a couplet! I liked the process notes, too.
Sometimes we have to do a little work on ourselves in order to work well with others.

One that bears re-reading.
I struggled with the form so I appreciate how well you did.
