Identity

page from 'Hatched' (re-hatched)

In my book Hatched, which spans the first eight years of living with ME through images and very shorts thoughts- poems- I queried in May 2001, if I was still me?
I am
am I 
still me

Being so ill. Was I still me? What does illness to do your identity.

All these years later I think I can safely say that I am MORE me than I ever was before illness.

An ailing body and all. I am more authentically me.
