The search that many undertake, to know themselves, I try also at times, but I think I am doing better at learning who I am not. I have never wanted to be that stick in the mud slowly getting covered to eventually become a fossil. I think that is the one thing I learned about myself, by learning what I am not.

Totally agree with you, and I feel the same way. Most people become fossils, but don't even know it or question it. Beautifully said, thank you for this!
