.
I’ve just discovered
I am a nested self.
One single core.
One undefined centre.
Multiple contexts,
rippling outward—
each specific,
yet never standalone.
An ever-widening embrace
that ultimately contains all.
A life lived
acquiring skills
and aptitudes.
Lessons gathered
in different places,
yet all available
as needed.
And all threaded through
with an integrated humanity.
The heart at the centre—
larger than the universe
that pulses within it.
