‘Kaleidoscope of Self’

Written By Walid K
kaleidoscope of people

And he asked…

‘Is it true?’

‘Am I really unique?’

She answered…

‘The accumulation of our unique life experiences,

is what makes us who we are

Yet as we experience everything…

Every event, circumstance and person,

through our own unique lens,

filtered by our own unique perspective,

veiled by our beliefs, inferences and map of meaning…

So does everyone else,

through their own lens’

This can only mean that there are as many versions of ourselves

as there are people who have perceived us,

through their own unique lens

So are there as many versions of ourselves

as the number of people whom we have encountered or interacted with?

A Kaleidoscope of Self!

Walid recently rediscovered his passion for writing when he came across some poems which he had written more than 20 years ago.

Walid receives inspiration when spending time in nature and when reading or listening to authors like Alan Watts, Carl Gustav Jung, Fritjof Capra, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Gregg Braden, Bruce Lipton, Jim Rohn, Brian Tracy, Wayne Dyer, Denis Waitley and Anthony Robbins.

He also finds that he unveils deep insights and reflections when writing speeches that he delivers at his local Toastmasters’ public speaking club.

Rumi said, “there is a voice that doesn’t use words… listen”. When we spend time in nature, and when we read and write about subjects we resonate with, we begin to hear the whispers of our inner voice.
