Credo Question #1: Who Am I?

What is my identity?

How am I shaped by my culture?

gender?

Activities?

Family?

What do the things I really enjoy in life say about who I am?

What experiences and beliefs have shaped my life journey so far, and where am I going?

"to be nobody but yourself in a world that is doing its best, night and day, to make you everybody else means to fight the hardest battle that any human being can fight." - e.e. cummings

"...each of us is here to discover our true self... essentially we are spiritual beings that have taken manifestation in physical form. We're not human beings that have occasionaly spiritual experiences... we're spiritual beings that have occasional human experiences." - Deepak Chopra

"A certain day became a presence to me; there it was, confronting me - a sky, air, light: a being. And before it started to descend from the height of noon, it leaned over and struck my shoulder as if with the flat of a sword, granting me honor and a task. The day's blow rang out, metallic - or was it I - a bell awakened, and what I heard was my whole self saying and singing what it knew: I can." - Denise Levertov
