What is Self?

If they see
breasts and long hair coming
they call it woman,

if beard and whiskers
they call it man:

but, look, the self that hovers
in between
is neither man
nor woman

O Ramanatha

I have visited in my wanderings shrines and other places of pilgrimage. But I have not seen another shrine blissful like my own body.

When I see that I am nothing, that is wisdom. When I see that I am everything, that is love. And between these two my life moves.

It is awesome and often extremely embarrassing to have your life play out in such a public manner. But you learn that you must strive to be bold in attempting to be true to your realest self. For better or for worse this has been an expression of our essence and people will judge us as they choose. Hey – whatever. We are at the same time amazing and flawed. Life is a great teacher. Rejoice.
