Knowing Who You Are In Just Ten "Easy" Steps

Written at the Alameda County Fair 2016 poetry workshop, inspired by an erasure.

1. Lose sight of the present,
                    of the real,
                    of the expectations and desires.
2. Grow out of energy and attention toward a heightened sense of being.
3. Encourage yourself to explore your environment, then return to the body- a sanctuary devoid of urgency or responsibility-again and again.
4. Stop seeking confirmation.
5. Leave it alone.
6. Let your heart and mind seek opportunities with humility and sincerity.
7. Be what you are, stay true to yourself.
8. Ask questions. Learn.
9. Be an artist.
10. Navigate through obstacles and don't become discouraged.

There is no other way to learn to see yourself.

I agree my friend. Life is simple. We must enjoy our life. Seek things that make us content. Thank you for sharing the excellent thoughts and wisdom.
