So I was on set the other day. Talking to the lead actress. She had a tattoo that said "i AM". So me being me asked "I am huh, what are you?" She started going into this whole thing, it was like a speech she had given a hundred times before i'm sure. "i AM is my being.... i am me, i am her, i am a woman, i am beautiful, it also means, i am not. I am not of my hair, i am not of this body....." as she continued talking it was a lot to take it. I mean i expected her to say something simple..I am me! or soemthing like that. so i thanked her for explaining and acted like i heard someone call me on the walkie talkie. who was this girl. she is so earthly, so hippie.
well the more i thought about it i realized something. I am. this statement is the shortest sentence. I am stands alone or can be matched up with other words. I am can stand for soemthing you are or you're not. I am was what God said he was when asked his name. I am is a powerful statement and yet it's the simpliest, shortest, and most comprehendable sentence.
Who'd a thought i would learn something from an actress.
So i'll say it loud i'll say it proud.......
I am.

Oh wow I like this. Never really thought about it but those two words can open up a whole bunch of stuff. I think it's incredible how we can learn from such a simple moment.
