Identity Who are you?CHANGE!

First, feel, then feel, then read, or read, then feel, then fall, or stand, where you already are. Think of your self, and the other selves…think of your parents, your mothers and sisters, your fathers, then feel, or fall, on your knees if nothing else moves you, then read and look more deeply into all that matters come close to you. Make some muscle in your head but use the muscles in your heart.
