That All Must Understand and Know,
I Will Not Relinquish My Pride Nor My Ground
When That Which Is At Stake,
Is Indeed My Honor!

                                                                                        
C. Maus, 18 May 72
(written the same year a Federal Marshall served me with
papers explaining that the land my family had owned for over
20 years was being seized by Right of Eminent Domain for a
Federal Dam Project on the Delaware River in Pennsylvania that
eventually ……...would never be built)

“Who Am I?”
I am the past…
I am the present…
I am the future…
I am rich man…
I am poor man…
I am every man…
I am the wind…
I am the sky…
I am the earth…
I am the day & I am the night…
I am your brother…
I am your uncle…
I am your cousin…
I am your friend…
I am your Father.
…Do you still not know ‘Who I Am?’
I am that which you yearn for…
I am that which has never left…
I am that which belongs…
I am that which you call to…
I am that which calls to You.
…Do you still not know ‘Who I Am?’
I am accountability…
I am reason…
I am the drink of life…
I am grace…
I am reverence…
I am the light…
I am your Hope.
…Do you still not know ‘Who I Am?’
I am your heart…
I am your mind…
I am your Spirit…
I am your Soul…
…Do you still not know ‘Who I Am?’
I was beauty…
I was purity…
I was noble…
I was profound…
I was simple…
I was just…
I was honour…
I was dignity…
I was principal…
I was pride…
I was the morning frost of Fall…
I was the golden meadows of Spring…
I was the rivers and lakes of Summer…
I was the warm fire of Winter…
I was your Hope.

…Do you now know ‘Who I Am?’

I AM YOUR BATTLE FLAG…
I AM YOU.
