who am I?
Sometimes I wonder about what am I seeking.
Am I seeking or just living from one moment to another?
Is it because I do not know what else to do?
I breathe without knowing that I am,
I live without knowing that I am.
It's only when I see the picture of another stranger as old as I am,
that I realize that I too have traversed all those distances and am as withered, old,wrinkled and vintage as the person in the picture.
It's just my spirit which cannot be pictured, which makes me live on without a thought.
It's the blithe spirit of the free wind,
the roaring, frothy movement of powerful waves which come in unison and retreat passively.
That, I feel is me.
The wind, the wave, the careless free all pervading yet lonely spirit,
Which belongs to no one,
Not even the earthly creature called "Varsha".

That was poetic. I guess we are all seekers till the end. what we see is only the effects of the physical journey we have undertaken in the course of leading our lives. As the body ages, the spirit blossoms for it discovers newer dimensions. I could appreciate what you said about the blithe spirit, the free wind, the roaring waves; the sea has had this effect on me, for it overwhelms and consumes you in its folds, I do not feel lonely for I feel immersed in its immensity. I take a walk along the seashore nearly everyday, sometimes in the mornings and sometimes in the evenings. 'What am I' is submerged.
I wonder whether I could ever answer this eternal question, "Who am I?" I too have been in search of self ever since I started doing introspection. You have penned your thought process very articulately....short and sweet. Keep it up!
