"Who are you?" ~Jostein Gaarder
Sophie's World, Chapter 1
Methinks Jostein asks the right
question; I ask it of myself rather
often.
There are things I know for certain;
I'm a woman, 73 years old, mother
of 2 + 2 + 3 = 7, gran and great gran,
retired teacher, live in a 145 year old
cabin, but . . .
There is ever so much more to
know and understand about self!
What do I believe? How do I honor
those beliefs? Am I faithful to my
beliefs?
And, speaking of beliefs, I actually
think that this may indeed be the
true identity of a person.
I believe in fidelity and faithfulness.
Treat people with the regard held
for yourself, not how they deserve.
I believe in Mother Nature and hope
her master will be revealed in due
time.
I pray I may ever be true to myself,
learn and grow with each passing
day . . .
"The most difficult thing in life
is to know yourself." ~Thales
