Who I AM …

The following traits are not the particular wants and favorites of my own ego-self, but rather are facets of my True-Being; facets of the True Self who reside within us all … With that in mind, here is a description of the same:

*I fully comprehend my inability to truly understand “the truth” — and yet some concepts I have mastered  …

*I approach perfection by forgiving myself  ahead of time …

*I persist in being mySelf despite the criticism of my friends & the rejection of my enemies …

*Wherever I am, I refuse to draw the shades …

*No matter what happens, I am grateful for my life …

*I regularly pause to sit in sunbeams & bathe in rainstorms …

*I caress plants, smile at butterflies and speak with all animals …

*I see the best in others — while expecting nothing of the sort in return …

*I live vicariously through myself …

*I resist the temptation to resist temptation — I am willingly self-disciplined …

*I remind myself that I am alive to serve others; seeking, finding and engaging my endless opportunities to lessen others’ pains or enhance their joys …

*I always give to those who beg of me …

*I choose to see the amazing in the “normal” …

*I save worms lost on sidewalks after rainstorms …

*I broke a thumb and yet still caught the ball …

*I have bathed regularly in waters Holy …

*I got thrown out but chose to remain in The Game …

*I revere the teachings of all Saints, without succumbing to any of the religious requirements that came thereafter …

*I lean into the next moment while living in the current one …

*I have been lied to, and yet continue to tell the Truth …

*I allow seemingly random happenstance to govern all my important decisions …

*I fully realize that I am no better than any other living being …

*I have left my friends in order to befriend all of Humanity …

*I realize that I am often judged to be “crazy” — by a culture that is obviously insane …

*I am prejudiced only against prejudice …

*I demand nothing — and give the rest away willingly …

*There are times when my wings are broken, and yet still I continue to sing …

*I have learned to sail life’s smooth waters by first navigating its storms …

*I do not wait to become famous to wear the “dark glasses” of humility, but don them ahead of time in the hopes of remaining powerfully anonymous …

*My morality’s chain has only one link — selfless Love …

*I sense what others would take from me and give it freely to them before they can do so …

*I flee joyfully into the challenge of all things both nearby & “dangerous” …

*There are no sides to any of my disputes …

*My sincere compassion easily overcomes the “strongest” of my competitors …

*I know that a “good start” is half the work — because I realize that The Work has no end.
