BY LIAM FLANAGAN

Sitting quietly with oneself contemplating the essence
To be found in the body and in the mind
An identity formed from a combination of genes and experience
Or is there another part of being which defines who we are
A spirit which wanders and weaves through the corridors of life
Each change of direction requiring an adjustment to who we are
Not a constant like a rock which cannot be reshaped
Or a river which flows and refuses to be redirected
We are never always the same and so often the opposite
