Who Am I?

Where are you now my friend?
Are you settled into yourself,
or are you running here and their?

The final resting place of the Ganges
cannot be if it were not born a raging torrent,
high in the glacial Himalayas.

And even in its origin the river
knows where it is headed;
just as the vast, peaceful sea
knows its source.

The river knows
that though the journey
is one of nature,
the source is the end,
as the end is the source.

As vast is the sea,
so the mountains are silent.

The essence of who you are -
whether it be called God or spirit -
is dancing along with you,
every step of the way.
