I AM; I Do

I AM
  so much more than any role
  I will ever play
  in this life.

Ego looks for self definition,
  "I am a writer."
  "I am a social scientist."
  "I am a mother."
  "I am a lover."
  "I am a seeker..."

But, that very definition
  delimits the whole
  of who
  I AM,
  confining a being of God
  to a small, rigid box.

So, I embarked on a journey
  to teach my self
  how to leave
  I AM
  to the vast unknown
  and rather,
  describe how I engage my time.

I do...
  I write,
  I study,
  I parent,
  I love,
  I practice...

I AM
