Who are you today?
During yesterday's launch for her new book,
Rosemerry W. Trommer read her poem "Losing It"
ticking off all the different "selves"
she's been throughout her life.
The different identities she'd taken on
and let go of, or lost along the way.
How we think those labels are who we are.
She suggests we shed those roles,
and think about who would be
left to witness the sunset
or the new birds at the feeder,
or the first fragile blooms of spring
appearing on the forest floor.
This quote calls it a job.
I call it an adventure,
an exploration,
a discovery.
Who are you now?
