Who Am I?

The question “Who am I?” is a seed that can bear much fruit if given the chance to unfold.

At some point in our lives, or perhaps at many points in our lives, we ask the question, “Who am I?” At times like these, we are looking beyond the obvious, beyond our names, and beyond the names of the cities and states we came from — into the layers beneath our surface identities. We may feel the need for a deeper sense of purpose in our lives, or we may be ready to accommodate a more complex understanding of the situation in which we find ourselves. Whatever the case, the question of who we are is a seed that can bear much fruit.

It can send us on an exploration of our ancestry or the past lives of our soul. It can call us to take up journaling to discover that voice deep within us that seems to know the answers to a multitude of questions. It can draw our attention so deeply inward that we find the spark of spirit that connects us to every living thing in the universe. One Hindu tradition counsels its practitioners to ask the question over and over, using it as a mantra to lead them inevitably into the heart of the divine.

While there are people who seem to come into the world knowing who they are and why they are here, the human journey, for the most part, appears to be very much about asking this question and allowing its answers to guide us on our paths. So when we find ourselves in the heart of unknowing, we can have faith that we are in a very human place, as well as a very divine one. “Who am I?” is a timeless mantra, a Zen koan, ultimately designed to lead us home into the part of our minds that finally lets go of questions and answers and finds instead the ability to simply be. AMEN! 😎🎈

@taci,

Good morning in S. California no worries about the post from last night. Things just happens
online.

I hope you had a nice Hike. 🎈😎 I live in a very quiet area near the woods and I have a nice
place that I do my long walks with Poppy. Hubby and I will go walking too.

What do you think of the Eclipse tomorrow? Will you be able to see it? We will have 90%
Totality. I did watch it in 2017 but I am not taking any chances this year. I think I will stay inside
I hope the animals take cover.

In 2024 the path crosses more major population centers than the 2017 eclipse, enabling 31.6 million people to see the eclipse without leaving their city, versus just 12 million in 2017. In addition, one of the most entrancing parts of a total solar eclipse is the view of the sun’s corona during totality.

The next Eclipse will be in 2044. 😎

Happy Trails To You. 🎶🎶Hope your son is enjoying this day.

@oodiebom,

Good afternoon on the Gulf Coast of Florida. 😎Oodie have you made up your mind on
the dishwasher? I read your post from last night and it seems you may have someone who
can do the job amen to that.

I cannot believe they sent someone who was not prepared. I hope this is one and done when
the contractor is done installing your appliance. 🎈

How are things going for you today? I did order my Clean Boss I did mine Friday Night it
is packing and I should have it in a few days. 💕

Oz is very nice today we have the Sun. 😎🎈Very busy this weekend doing Spring Things. LOL!
