In the next couple of days I'm going to share what I've been learning about identity. The thought process was stirred Sunday through a talk about Jewish history. Then all week little things have been reminding me of my heritage as a child of God and I'm eager to share my discoveries.

Here's a quote from a book called Symbols of Judaism I looked through this morning:

"Crippled identity and lameness continually remind us to escape the urge to classify, to enclose beings and things in the prison of names and words. Crippled identity maintains in man a constant questioning of identity so that he remembers that man "makes himself from unmaking himself," that the state of being constitutes the state of being "over there"--"somewhere in the unfinished."
-Marc-Alain Ouaknin
