being myself

:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::


In an age where there is much talk
about "being yourself,"
I reserve to myself the right
to forget about being myself,
since in any case
there is very little chance
of my being anybody else.



Thomas Merton
"Day of a Stranger,"
Thomas Merton Reader, p. 431

  1. I have been enjoying a stroll through your work. We live in a house that long ago was reconstructed after an earthquake, also lived through one in Vancouver in a tall hotel that swayed so my bed rolled. Not for the faint of heart. Let us hope the next year is better. Fran
