Who You Are by Danna Faulds

a poem that speaks to my heart...


          Who you are

who you are is so much more
than what you do. The essence,
shining through heart, soul, and
center, the bare and bold truth
of you does not lie in your
to-do-list. You are not just
at the surface of your skin, not
just the impulse to arrange the
muscles of your face into a smile
or frown, not just boundless
energy, or bone wearying fatigue.
Delve deeper. You are divinity;
the vast and open sky of Spirit.
It's the light of god, the ember
at your core, the passion and the
presence, the timeless, deathless
essence of you that reaches out
and touches me. Who you are
transcends fear and turns
suffering into liberation.
Who you are is love

    -Danna Faulds
