Don't get technical with me, Wombat. I remember you from the next universe when your grandfather was still in diapers.

But seriously, who we really are can be revealed in the answer to this question:

Is better for an innocent person to be convicted of a crime, or for a guilty person to be set free?

Lorenzo, my grandfather is still in diapers. At his age he needs them more than ever. (A wombat in diapers is quite a sight, I can tell you.)

Seriously though, we all have numerous group identities. How I'd answer the question 'Who are you?', if at all, depends very much on who's asking and why. If someone were able to click with absolute confidence on one of the options, I'd suspect them either of being tricked by the poll format into thinking they had to choose or of being a fanatic.

I'm a person who never thought I'd be concerned with ear and nose hair!

I am a work in progress, currently standing in the way of my Self. If I could just get me out of my way

, I could see who I am and what identifies me.

I'm Nobody! Who are you?
Are you—Nobody—too?
Then there's a pair of us!
Don't tell! they'd advertise—you know!

How dreary—to be—Somebody!
How public—like a frog—
To tell one's name—the livelong June—
To an admiring bog!

--Emily Dickinson

I love that. I may be that too.

I think I'm a pessimistic idealist, too.

No, *I* am Spartacus!

I'm me. I'm far too busy being me to think about why I'm me.

At 58, I still don't know who I am or how to define myself. I do know that I am the sum of fifty eight years with the experiences and the things that I have learned along the way, I carry with me. To define myself specifically that I am this or that, or not this or that, denies my spirit of living everyday and experiencing that day for what it is.

When I awake in the morning, that is the day I am given, how it will play out or what I make of it, will determined as the hours pass. Yes, we have our expected routines and the masks that they require but they are only masks that we wear and present to the public, reflecting at the moment who we might be or are, as we want to be seen.

Suffice to say, I am here.
