Remembrance

Remember who you are...not what you look like, or not what you sound like, or not even how you express; but just remember who you are as a being that is all inclusive.

“I Am Not I”

By Juan Ramón Jiménez

Translated By Robert Bly

 

I am not I.

                   I am this one

walking beside me whom I do not see,

whom at times I manage to visit,

and whom at other times I forget;

who remains calm and silent while I talk,

and forgives, gently, when I hate,

who walks where I am not,

who will remain standing when I die.
