Know Who You Are

Is this a possibility... in Knowing Who We Are, do you think we should take the time to understand others, before investing in our own?

Understanding who we are?

As a young child I was faced with many circumstances which stretched ‘who I was’ at an age when baseball, snowballs and candy should have consumed me.

 

How are we to assist, teach or even lend a hand to another or for that matter given the right when we truly do not understand who we are?

Do we lend an ear?  Or just keep Talking?

Understanding Who We Are, could this expose us for who we truly are?

 

The future moves into the past…

 

 

Know Who You Are

---

Facing our Fears – Is all, but a mirror image

One we refuse to see - one we refuse to acknowledge?

 

I claim no acceptance in fostering appreciation

Encompassing emotions, other than my own

Elapsed time, this I can-not proclaim.

 

Guilty I am… Immersing ‘my being’ in the past

The lifting of boundaries (through Love and Understanding)

Offered in abundance… “This eludes me.”

 

Where have we lost such pluralisms in life?

Why do we wish to ex-change the reflections of who we are?

 

Without values we have no foundation

Our future should not, and must not, be transmogrified

(Because of our past)

 

Eyes of first impressions lost in judgment

Casting of shadows, tossing blame

Why must we quench our thirst from the well of hatred?

Who are we to judge without knowledge, or out of fear?

  

Thoughts become nothing more than reflections

History will - recall voices within our diverse past

 

When we really speak the words ‘Thank You’ ‘I Love You’ ‘I ‘Appreciate You’ ‘I am Truly Sorry’ are they really filled with the meanings they deserve?

A message conveyed or perhaps ‘lesson to be learned’

 

Looking back – moving forward

Beyond Cognition, reflections now dissolved

 Image of another becomes clear

I must vanish to…

Know Who {You} Are…

Wow, it leaves me thinking of a lot of questions I have to ask myself. And you're right, why are we still so teribly prejudice, always angry and upset over the silliest little things. And I totally agree with Demyra there that sometimes we say things like I love you without even thinking it. I know I do it all the time, mostly to friends and family but I say it so that, should anything ( Goddess Forbid) happen to either of us, they know that they were loved.

Yes, this is true and well written. It's hard to find the real you unless you are put in different circumstances. We have to become what we really want to be. Yes, and try to learn from each circumstance.

When we really speak the words

'Thank You'~'I Love you'~'I AppreciateYou'~'I am Truly Sorry'

Are they Truly filled with the meanings they deserve?

this phrase it too true. out of obligation, i say these things to all but one person. there is only one person in my life that these having meaning for.

This is true, I think is a great insight. Very opinionated, and I like that.

We are all different ,thats what makes us. Some thing you wrote apply to some people and not necessary to others. In other words we all have our weakness and we all have our troubles but in the end I hope we get though them as one in the love of Jesus,,You wrote this with heart and soul that allowed us to see inside of your Spirit,,well written , GBU,RodneyRay

very inspirational and thoughtful...the only issue i have here is that it does not flow in a poetic rhythm(for me)...but i do enjoy the message and completely agree...

WOW! I love your usage of words (so descriptive), this is just awesome! After reading this it made me want to vanish for awhile so I could ~Know Who {You} Are~ (:
This is very moving it made me realize that I need to start doing just that...looking beyond myself to see others for who they really are!
You wrote..."When we really speak the words

'Thank You'~'I Love you'~'I AppreciateYou'~'I am Truly Sorry'

Are they Truly filled with the meanings they deserve?"
I ask this question so many times and I still wonder if they are really from the heart or just something someone says out of habit.

Awesome write!
Legacy...keep on writing...! (:

You seem absorbed by the desire to lose yourself in another... to become another in order to more clearly understand them and yourself. I believe that in doing so you will lose yourself. I believe that you can view two images in the mirror without the two dissolving into one. The other image should not define you.

I like this cause its simple, longing for the simple things, too. In my view love is simple, to make people love love and simple love may be hard, the child inside us most remind us to say "thank you," "thank you" also needs to be discovered and appreciated. So thank you.
