But you’re not under the circumstances. You are the circumstances.*
Seth Godin

I celebrate myself, and sing myself,
And what I assume you shall assume,
For every atom belonging to me as good belongs to you.**
Walt Whitman

May you understand that
you are more-than-enough circumstances to
be who you are and to
do what you must do, that
the only difference you need is how
you see yourself –
This is the gift of humility:
not having to high nor
too low an opinion of yourself, but
a true opinion;
So Walt Whitman is not only “upping” himself as he dares to
celebrate and sing himself,
He is celebrating and singing everyone –
Indeed, only as he does so can he fully
be himself … and I can be myself and
you can be yourself.

God, as I have come to understand God through Jesus, is happy to remain anonymous or to be named in a wide variety of ways or even to go incognito.^
