Be Me

 The Jewish Torah says in Genesis that we are made in the image of God.  This view means that we have a natural affinity for God, the spiritual, when we are most our true self as we were created.  So why do so many people feel alienated from God, spirituality, and a sense of inner peace?  Because they are not being or becoming themself.  They are trying to be someone else in order to gain something that they have come to value.  It is usually wanting as valuable “more” of something. What or who we truly are simply is not enough, even if we knew who that is.  We don’t value the real self, so we try to find some other self that fits our wants.  I am really a nobody, that is, I am no other body or person.  But being me is not only enough, it is a daily deepening discovery.
