Who Am I

Van Morrison – Enlightenment

Who am I?

An idea created by a mind far greater than mine?

A whisper in the wind. A raindrop in the ocean. A line from a song. A busy bee. A butterfly on the breeze. A bird in flight. A mouse running for cover. A tree. A mountain. Snow. Rain. The sun’s glow. Blue sky. A star. A rainbow.

A thought inside a thought inside a thought inside …

Who am I?

What’s my purpose?

The struggle to find a meaning to the life I’m living. Would that family and work and interests be the ultimate goals.

Always the same response to everything: ‘There must be something more beyond all this.’

Who am I?

Still searching for the reality.

If I find it will I like the who that I am?

Will I know if I’ve succeeded?

Who am I?

Will I get there in the end?

Where is the end?

Does it matter?

Probably not.
