"The Question"

I'm going to ask you a question? Yes you...the one reading this. Right here, right now. The one who is willing enough to be interested, focused, curious, brave, deliberate, resolute and poised on the brink of discovering my thoughts, my spirit, my infinitely small, yet precious point of view and all that it encompasses...

I'm going to ask you a question and I want you to be totally honest, unafraid, unbiased, unabashed, unashamed and unequivocally committed to the expression...even if it hurts, is superficial, is beautiful, malicious, kind, trite, complimentary, defiant, difficult or rude...

I'm going to ask you a question, because I believe in you. I love you, I trust you and I want to know how you feel, think, dream, laugh, love, cry, desire. I want to know how it feels inside you, your mind, your spirit, your soul, your ugliness, your beauty, your divinity and sublime singularity. I want to know who you are...

I'm going to ask you a question, because I'm reborn, sanctified, forgiven, justified, appreciated, impacted, inspired, elevated, reviled, delighted, scorned, enlightened, betrayed, complete, vilified, loved and dignified by your answer...

I'm going to ask you a question...because it's the only question that matters, that defines, that is significant, that binds us to our humanity, our fears, our joy, our brilliance....

The question is: Who are you?
