Who Am I?

I am everything that's ever happened to me; my body, my mind, my emotions. I am my family, my heritage, the country in which I was born, and all the places I visited and lived. I am all the people I have ever met, the ones I liked and the ones who disliked me. All my experiences, identities, feelings, thoughts. All my relationships, achievements and failures. I am my joys and my sorrows; my fears and my loves. My judgments and my disapprovals. The attractions and the rejections. The depressions, the losses and the many blissful moments. I am all the food I ate, the sleepless nights, the pains and the pleasures. I am all of these - and I am none.

In truth - I am this breath... witnessing the inevitable, eternal now, interconnected to everything that has always been and will always be - with compassion.
I am the present.
