Knock-Knock

Who’s there? Ask yourself.

Who are you, really? Not that reality has any say in this. But really, who the fuck are you?

Got an answer already? Whatever you think you are — peel it off and toss it away. What’s underneath? Take that off, too. Layer by layer by layer, remove.

Remove guilt, duty, obligation, fear. Accountability, devotion, shame. Comfort, debt, desire. Remove your virtues, too. Remove kindness, fairness, justice, courage, integrity, all of it.

Who are you? Anything? Stay there for a while, do not move.

You’ve got nowhere else to be, really.

Listen.
