The Monkey in the Orchard

(Who am I?)

Am I my thoughts?
Am I what occupies my time?
.........what I feel?
.........the things that happen to me?
.........what people expect of me?

Or are all these just trees in the orchard of my mind?

Everything I think has grown
from seeds of experience and thought.
Trees bloom for each and every resolution I make;
full of my meditations, expectations, and so much more:

I went to work and was shown what to do,
another tree grew.
I met people there I had to deal with
(whether I liked them or not)
several trees grew.
Some of the trees mirrored each other:
this is how I think - this is how I act.

"We are not the same people with our spouses as when we're with others."
I have trees that deal with this.

Am I the trees,
or just some crazy monkey swinging between them
in the orchard of my mind?
