I am not I
I am this one
walking beside me whom I do not see,
whom at times I manage to visit,
and whom at other times I forget;
who remains calm and silent while I
talk,
and forgives, gently, when I hate,
who walks where I am not,
who will remain standing when I die.
Ramón Jiménez

And the end of all our exploring
Will be to arrive where we started
And know the place for the first time.
