Finding Essence


Who are we? That person experienced by bouncing off those around us, the 'us' we see reflected in our family's estimation? Our friends' opinions and ideas? Community involvement? A career, or some other accomplishment? Just who are we, in all actuality?

It is an intriguing thought - that one which would be another path to another place; where no one, nothing is familiar or known. Begin anew.

No family of origin, no children, no old friends, no history at all. Make it as we go. Find out exactly who we became because of where we were placed on the planet. See if we would like to continue to be that . . . or we might rather form other, more interesting composites.  Adaptation can also be creative.
