Identiteit - wie is de 'echte' mens in jou?

E.E. Cummings schreef in The courage to be yourself: To be nobody - but yourself - in a world which is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else.

Rodin schreef over:
the art of sculpting is about removing the stone not part of the sculpture.

James Baldwin: it is a curious way to find your identity, labeling yourself by labeling all the things you are not.

John O'Donohue: every human being carries two worlds. The world they carry within them and the world that is out there.
All thinking, writing, all action, all creation and all destruction is about a bridge between the two worlds.
All thought (also an open question) is about putting a face on experience ...

Identiteit: we are what remains after everything we are not ...

Ik schreef dit gedicht:

Als kijken zien wordt

Ben ik

wat overblijft

na alles

wat ik niet ben

Ben ik

omdat wij zijn.
