Neither Dumb Belle nor dumbell: The Search for Personal Identity.
Made in His image Divine, one and one equals two
The differences plain and simple in design
Does not "Woman" mean "Female Man,"
From First Man her origins taken?
Together strong and flexible
In time they find each in and as the other
Indispensible to humankind's survival
A perfect pair in God's blueprint for life
God's portrait as a dyptich,
Masterful, expressionistic, abstract and figurative
A little lower than angels, yet crowned in his glory
Strength and Kindness gifted to each one...
Yes in deed, God in plain sight of angels
made the two of them become as one-
Holy, wholly separate, inseparable, in mind, heart-
The children of His Love for Life
A vision for all to see-together his image on earth.
Together, one and one equals three

(First of a series on personal identity. :) )
I was created
in the image of God, I
Imago Deo
But I am in a
class of my own, I am a
Mathematical
set of one, we all
are a token, Socrates
or me and yes, you
I am a type, which
belongs to a class, but still
I am in a class of
My own, the class
Class identity of me
I think therefore I
Am (it’s not a good
Translation from the Latin)
Cogito Ergo
Sum, even though it
begs the question, it is a
Cartesian set
Je pense, donc je suis
In French, cogitatio fit
Thinking, occurring
Would better describe
this mess, but how would one prove
somebody’s thinking?
Brainwaves? Synapses?
So, we are all in a class
Of our own (imaged)
Philosophically
Personal identity
Is not an option
To a worldview
That is consigned to matter
And motion, no potion
No cerebral bend
Or mental gymnastics can
Account for abstract
Entities, such as
Identity over time
In a class its own
“Realize Self in All and All in Self
Be free of personal identity
and the sense of “mine.”
Be happy”
Our consciousness in all and all in us as interconnectedness
The one in all and the all in one as one Divine awareness
The identity as personality an entity ephemeral
As such classified as an earth life interface or a vehicle
Our pristine formless awareness then in occupation of this interface
The temporary aliveness of the body our ego energised by grace
There then being no difference between form & formlessness
Between the ego consciousness and our true eternal awareness
Likewise as all such manifest distinct awarenesses entwine
Since the energy within all is sourced by the Divine

Marked as great personal identity
style anchors individual uniqueness
expressed with heart’s earnestness, indeed pure
beautifying the poetry kingdom.
With poetic passion of fervent zeal
poets exhort well worth-pondering truths
along hope sentiments in free verses…
instructing, cheering through wisdom-filled lines.
In this grand Poetry Soup site abound
great bards so inspiring and supportive
while functional in using many forms
I call creative versatility.
Striving to participate with my best
I contribute poems, crafted midst prayer
exalting the Lord God*, my life’s essence
Who deserves honour from my writing pen.
*Psalm 118:28 Thou art my God, and I will praise thee: thou art my God, I will exalt thee.

Honorable Mention, "You've got style" Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Line Gauthier; judged on 1/15/2020.
To see this happen, I am not at all surprised.
Forty million bank accounts appear to have been compromised.
It happened at a popular chain of department store.
An incident on this grand of a scale has happened just once before.
This was one very big security breach.
Personal identity information is within almost anyone’s reach.
In these modern days of cyber identity theft,
something like this can leave many persons bereft.
There are many derelicts out there who can’t be trusted at all.
When we receive news like this, it certainly does appall.
