A few weeks with the Buddhist monks in Escondido: http://deerparkmonastery.org assisted open my heart to recognize what I am not and begin to see glimpses of what I am. I encourage a ‘present’ to yourself. = )

Yes and no. The strength of someone who doesn’t identify with any group is their ability to transcend the need to belong or feel accepted (Maslow’s third stage in his hierarchy of needs). By not needing to fit in to any mold, it allows us to be exactly who we are, which can never be defined by a title or label.

Ahhhh, you got me… I shouldn’t even have my name, right? I guess sometimes it’s necessary to have a few titles, maybe just to get people in the door
