What a fantastic question to contemplate! I have to admit, I’m not sure and I’ll have to really let this one percolate.
This question reminds me of a question I received years ago during holistic breathwork - who are you if you are not the owner of [business]? It helped to realize that I had identified too closely with my survival dance and allowed me to get some distance and perspective.
For the most part, I don’t care at all if I’m remembered. Why would I? It sounds like such a strange ego trip to me. Maybe you don’t mean this literally and are using the concept of being remembered as a prompt?
very curious about your substitution of ‘remembered’ for ‘known’ here — being remembered wasn’t on my mind at all, but it seems to have come automatically for you. I wonder who else read it that way
I hope to be known as someone who helps. Maybe that's too broad at the moment. Smash it to bits if you want to, lol.
Very curious indeed.
Later, I will turn off my projector, sit in the dark and ponder my substitution of ‘remembered’ for ‘known’.
Sincere apologies for the snippy comment.
Your post prompted some fertile reflections. Thank you for writing! But I’m not telling you, either ;)
