Hmm, it’s been a while. 🙂

I called this one Identity I because apparently I intended to write several on the same theme. I haven’t yet (and I wrote this one nearly 3 1/2 years ago), but I like the thought.

I do like, even with no sequels written yet, the way the I (as opposed to an Arabic numeral 1) fits with the theme.

What I also like about posting this poem now is that I wrote it when there was still a thorn in my soul … so the experiential component of it was typically conflicted and bittersweet.

I can access the truth of it by faith to a degree now, to let myself feel joy in the love of God, and I am grateful yet again for the different place I am in now compared to then.

Thanks for reading!
