Who we are is not the same as what we do. Doing does not verify our identity. Who we are is a given. It is given to us. Grow silent in meditation, or however you quiet your inner self, your anxious heart, and receive the gift of yourself. Distractions, striving, consumption create labels that cover up who you really are. They leave us feeling restless. Sometimes irritable, and ultimately discontented. We receive in silent prayer who we are, as a gift, a discovery each day. Busyness disguises it, but cannot crush it. We are eternal.
