Who Am I?

I am the tree I see,
The flower that blooms,
The morning rain,
And the cold night air.


I am the bird in flight,

The wounded bear,
The howling wolf,
And the dog lying before the fire.


I am the laughing child,

The old lady begging,
The dope addict,
And the forgetful old man.


I am all things,

And I am nothing


​Hanh Niêm, Ronald  Hirsch
Written on the final day of my at-home retreat
