A Poem on InotI

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.
