"Who am us anyway?" - a rather rhetorical question once posed by Firesign Theater, has become one of my mantras. Long ago, while a philosophy major (yeah, sure!), I pondered whether a person was simply the sum of all his (or her) past experience. Sometimes I still wonder, but I do believe that experience does have a lot to do with what I am now.
Certainly, my choices have led to what I've become. Whether wisdom or heart have a role in my patterns, my reality is what I am now, at this particular moment.
But in my dreams, I will always be that person I always wanted to be - the quintessential perfection of an image drawn from the past. To project that being to a current existence is probably impossible, but I can always go back to sleep and be who I wish.
