Who are you?

The who asked that question on an album during the 1970's. I now ask the question of myself and as a natural extention of the self.. others are there too.

We "Label" ourselves as many things, boy, girl, straight, crooked, ... you know what I am saying. Other's may see us and themselves completely differently. But in the end, who are you is only good for an instant in time.

After I ask the question, the you that is here after the question is not the exact same person as before. Molecules are constantly moving and changing and in the changing, there is no place for a "Static" answer that says that a person can ever be anything as time makes the change to a different place from 1 second ago till 1 second later.

It is in the space that sound that makes scence is made. a trainor said, the music is the "Space between the Notes." Wayne Dyer, I think it was.

Deepak Chopra speaks of the "Gap" where there are "Infinite Possiblities." To live in the space where anything is possible.

I know you cannot do everything and be all. You can only do that which you commit to with the understanding that things will change over time.

Making a baby 20 years later is not a baby anymore. Time went so much slower when I was young. Now 1 year goes by so fast,,, I won't be here for much more. It is only when you look back at the life you lived that it seems so long. The actual living is somthing that most healthy peole want to go on "Forever." And yet, time dictates that all will end. We have been born with a "Guarantee" that this life will end. It may be now, 20 years or 50 years, but there will be an end. And when that end comes, unless you have poor health, mentally or physically, you will think it ended too soon.

I have been told that on their death bed, few wish they would have worked more or worked harder or made more money. No, all they are thinking about are people and faces and things and events they "Did," and maybe... feeling a regret if there were things they "Wished" they could have done and now will not have time for.

Only by living your life understanding that it will end can you make this moment in time prescious. Hug your kid today. Tell your partner you love them.. Certain things can never be overdone.

Lastly, don't answer the question "Who are you." put it into a question: "are you asking me who I am now, or who I was a minute ago."

People look to others for justification as to what they are doing. To some, what they are doing will never be "Good enough" as they have lived for the "Acolades" of others.

In order to become "Self Directed," you need to see that you care about what other's think of you. Only when you can say, "I understand how you see me, but I am in creation... so I am not that way now."

So, let me not neglect this opportunity to say that I am thankful for living in this 1 second... oh, it's now passed.
