I am

In a group I am in, a very wise person shared about who they are. This is a real bit of enlightenment for me. I was always searching for who I am. Now, its easy to say I am a woman, a mother, a lover, a pagan, an artist, a priestess of the wild magick and a student of the Great Mysteries. These are things that are my essential self. To change them or to quit being any of these things would require a change in my core being.

What I am not is my job, my home, my material possessions or any particular spiritual path. If I had to quit any of these things, my core being would be unchanged. Certainly I'd feel the loss but I would still be who I am.
