“I say “I am free”, but what I really mean is “I feel free”; I say “I am unfortunate”, but what I really mean is “I feel unfortunate”; I say “I am powerful”, but what I really mean is “I feel powerful”; I say “the World” , but what I really mean is “my world within the World”. What “I am” will always be a mystery to me.”
