Who do I want to be?

I can’t say who,

but I can say what:

better. Every day. 

A mind not growing

is a mind that decays. 

Nourish the garden. 

Pick up the ewer,

crack open its spine—

yes, literature,

the water of life. 

So no— 

I cannot tell you

who 

I am becoming—

only what. 

Less the destination,

more the journey.
