no notion of identity

“At that moment I had no notion of identity. Nor of burden. I laughed in place of language.”

Peace Like a River, Leif Enger, p. 300

This quote is one of my favorite things right now. Forgetting about myself, truly having no notion of my own identity…that’s my prayer. I want to live in constant awareness of being so very small that I get completely lost in light of the Gospel–the place where self-directed concern just seems silly.
