I am not I.
I am this one
Walking beside me whom I do not see.
Whom at times I manage to visit,
And at other times I forget.
The one who remains silent when I talk,
The one who forgives, sweet, when I hate,
The one who takes a walk when I am indoors,
The one who will remain standing when I die.
- Juan Ramón Gimenez

after an hour of reading "MIND HACKS" this was a beautiful nightcap reminder of the condundrum of mind/brain/self/ego. Thanks for this post.
