Who am I
if I am not my words,
nor yet my attitude,
if I am not my context
or the things I’ve thought and done,
what’s happened to me …?

Who are you
if you are not
behaviors I observe,
or ways you interact
or things you do?

I take the thought of you,
of me, of all of us –
I try to move it deeper  –
to that which sparks us awake,
alive,
what ties us with a lifeline
to the infinite.
