Being is the essence out of which all things evolve. This blog is an ongoing conversation of being in various facets and areas of life, including the personal and the professional from which relationships of all kinds are formed and teams built in all communities, virtual or real, at home, at work, in politics and at play.

Being Constructed
Identities are social contructs. Who are you? Is there a separation between the two--that, whatever it is, and you?
Love it, thepoetryman! Thanks a lot for that. The beauty is that we each can change who we have constructed as me. Often times it is a difficult process but it is a good one indeed.
That line is something to ponder: The man I made up is me. People are just not one-dimensional,and very rarely fit into a box. I know in my case I can be a wealth of contradicitons.
Cynthia - I agree that we are multi-faceted; we are indeed multi-dimensional, even full of contradictions as you have acknowledged. Thank you. I am most interested in those things we would not like to be and how to change these.

This reminds me of the playwright Sam Sherpard's line- "I believe in my mask. The man I made up is me."

All thoughts are in the ethers, floreta. I'd like to read yours. And, yes, identity is most intriguing.
