I never fail to be moved by Deitrich Bonhoeffer's writing. A Lutheran Minister, he opposed the Nazis and was executed as WWII drew to an end. Here, he writes from his prison cell about identity and the oft experienced disconnect between how we see ourselves and how others see us; 'Who am I?'. May his words bless you as it has comforted me:
Who am I? They often tell me I stepped from my cell’s confinement Calmly, cheerfully, firmly,... Like a Squire from his country house.
Who am I? They often tell me I used to speak to my warders Freely and friendly and clearly, As thought it were mine to command.
Who am I? They also tell me I bore the days of misfortune Equably, smilingly, proudly, like one accustomed to win.
Am I then really that which other men tell of? Or am I only what I myself know of myself? Restless and longing and sick, like a bird in a cage, Struggling for breath, as though hands were compressing my throat, Yearning for colors, for flowers, for the voices of birds, Thirsting for words of kindness, for neighborliness, Tossing in expectations of great events, Powerlessly trembling for friends at an infinite distance, Weary and empty at praying, at thinking, at making, Faint, and ready to say farewell to it all.
Who am I? This or the Other? Am I one person today and tomorrow another? Am I both at once? A hypocrite before others, And before myself a contemptible woebegone weakling? Or is something within me still like a beaten army Fleeing in disorder from victory already achieved?
Who am I? They mock me, these lonely questions of mine. Whoever I am, Thou knowest, O God, I am thine!
