The search for personal identity is an ever evolving
life long journey.
Like trees, we develop rings of growth that respond
and reflect our environmental conditions,
reaching and bending to the direction of the sun
shedding and conserving in times of drought
expanding and sheltering
producing fruit in times of plenty.
The inner personal identity cannot be separated
from the community
even in exclusion or exile or abandonment;
the inner identity develops according to absence
or lack
or prolific abundance.
