Who you are is so much more

than what you do. The essence,

shining through heart, soul, and

center, the bare and bold truth

of you does not lie in your

to-do list. You are not just

at the surface of your skin, not

just the impulse to arrange the

muscles of your face into a smile

or a frown, not just boundless

energy, or bone wearying fatigue.

Delve deeper. You are divinity;

the vast and open sky of Spirit.

It's the light of God, the ember

at your core, the passion and the

presence, the timeless, deathless

essence of you that reaches out

and touches me. Who you are

transcends fear and turns

suffering into liberation.

Who you are is love.
