i am who i am
"If people knew us as we really are, without all the worldly decorations we have gathered, would they still love us? Or would they forget us as soon as we were no longer of use to them? This is the central question of identity: Are we good because of what we do or have, or because of who we are? Am I somebody because the world makes me into somebody, or am I somebody because I belonged to God long before I belonged to the world?" - Henri Nouwen

I've just been reading some Nouwen myself lately. "Clowning around Rome." It was good. Also read another one of your favourites Freddy B, a new book called "Yellow Leaves" also good. What book is the quote you posted from?
