"For my part my name is that sky, those fenceposts, and those cedar trees. I shall not even reflect on who I am and shall not say my identity is nobody's business because that implies a truculence I don't intend. It has no meaning. Now my whole life is this---to keep unencumbered. The wind owns the fields where I walk and I own nothing and am owned by nothing and I shall never even be forgotten because no one will ever discover me. This is to me a source of immense confidence."
~Thomas Merton
