The true you

You are not what you think you are

What you are can never be thought

You are beyond thought

You can only understand

what you are not

What you are,  you can only be

Rest beyond thought completely free......

Beautiful sentiment.

This entire poem must be taken in as a whole for it cannot be divided or examined in parts. I tried to do this I my attempt to explain what I received from such magnitude. It seems to me that we as human beings ponder on what we aren't while ignoring what we are, be it good or bad. I will keep these words in mind as I view life from the stage rather than part of an audience. A mental work of art!

Yes, you cannot gauge the potential you have...
As Clinton once said: '
'You can do much more than you think you can!'

COOL! I love this. Very philosophical. I hear my voice and yet it sounds different. I see my image in the cam and I look different than the mirror image I had only seen before the cam was invented.....Do I see what you see? All this is intriguing. If I can not see me as the true me, can any one else? I only know what I am not. Yes, I can relate to this poem very well. Thanks for recommending it. :)

A teacher too! How cool. I teach art to elementary age children.
