Everyone is building an identity
Collecting pieces
Curating a self
But some things
Are not built
They are found

In Christ
I am not left outside
There is a place for me
Within a larger plan
Not invent
Find

My life is not
A loose thread
It has a place in a pattern
I did not have to weave

I am not a project
I am not a brand
I am part of a purpose
Older than my plans
Found
Not fabricated
Found

Before I chose a direction
A direction
Had chosen me
That is not a cage
That is a compass
The difference between
Wandering
And being on the way

You can only discover
Who you are
If you already are someone
The search does not create you
It uncovers you

I am not a project
I am not a brand
I am part of a purpose
Older than my plans
Found
Not fabricated
Found

And a found life
Does what found things do
It shines a little
Glad to be
Picked up
