Timing Is Everything
by Deborah BreuerThere was a time when I knew too little to know the difference between who I was and myself.
When my level of intellect was beyond my own egoeccentricities and the gray matter of my mind only ensued my daily routines.
I was autonomous,
Even from myself.
A simple breath of life,
Disconnected.
From what, I can't be sure.
However, I can express with some amount of certainty that I, that being who I am and myself, among my comrads, am respected.
This being of some importance ot me,
Has persuaded me to leave a place of binary existance.
This in itself was a difficult transition,
Coming into cognition,
Knowing the idiosyncracy between who I am and myself.
And knowing this you must be questioning,
What precisely, the difference is between who one is and oneself.
The truth is that the answer evolves with each revolution,
Allowing a new interpretation,
An new analysis of the self.
And while there was this time whenI knew too little to know the difference,
The fact is that now,
I do.
And believe me,
It is of no consequence to you. 07/15/2006 Posted on 07/15/2006

Written and spoken very well, great write. One should not always want or try to be someone else.
It's always best to be, just yourself. I guess at one point in each of our lives, we all have been thru this too. Hugs. :) |

I mean really, who can speak so well and directly about self-definition with such certainty and leave room for the fact that we can't get it on other levels, and how it effects us and others and then bam-o with the ending, so precisely.... basically, uh, you get it. hahaha. ;) if i can even say that! yeah, i'm done. |
