A long time ago,
I asked myself,
"Who am I?"
and I found
that I couldn't answer
that question
to my satisfaction,
so that question
has been traveling
through the mind
for years and years,
and along the way,
I learned that Buddha said
that there is no self,
but that puzzled me
and I didn't understand it,
because I thought
that there was something
which I could call my self,
so the Zen master
taught that there was something
which could be called
the authentic self,
even though
it is non-existent,
so I have put it together
and now I can safely say
that this is me
sitting here,
period,
and I'm scratching my nose.
