Carl Jung said, "We are who we always have been,
and we are who we will be."

And he also said, "There is within each of us,
another whom we do not know."

And it is our place to be who we are
in the time left for living.

For me that can only mean spending copious amounts of time
in emptiness, stillness, silence,
waiting to see what meets us there, 
and going where we are led,
knowing that "The path that can be discerned as a path
is not a reliable path" (Martin Palmer),
meaning, I take it, that the path can be seen only in hindsight,
and that we trust ourselves to our intuition
in finding the way that is the way for us--
which is what the Buddha did under the Bodhi Tree,
and what Jesus did in the Garden of Gethsemane,
and see where it goes.
