St Thomas Aquinas
It feels like across the world, many people are showing us what they love; and by this telling us a lot about what they are. People who love their country, equality and decency; compared to people who love power and money.
One small thing caught my eye here as I thought more upon the words - the use of the phrase "... tell us what we are" because I assumed as I first read it, that it said "... tell us who we are".
What difference does what v who make I wondered? Perhaps who simply makes you go" I am a person who loves x y or z". Whereas what asks you to consider the compilation of things?
I sat for a while and pondered the things I love and what they say about me. I decided that things did not equal people, so my nearest and dearest are loved, but I shan't be pondering upon what that might say about me.
I wondered what I am given some of the things I love include quiet time, reading, conversations with friends, making and creating, sipping a good coffee, walking quietly, looking at small things of beauty in the world, and sleeping well.
What does the make me? Something along the lines of a peaceful, quiet, artistic character searching for beauty in the world?
I'll take that.
