34

who is sitting?
who is breathing?
who is painting?
who is writing?

the answer will depend on who is asking

if ‘me’-mirage is asking it will create
a response from its handy archive of memories
if story-free ‘I’ is asking
it will simply recognize ‘I’-ness

who or what this-here-now appears to be
is created by the perceiver

Life lives this I-ness
in all conceivable forms
and knows I(t)-self
via the Aware-ing of all ‘I’s
