I defined

'I' am a soul that inhabits a body, given to me by God.
I am the sum of these things, and neither.
I am myself, and a part of something greater than myself.
I am of the earth, and the sky, and the sea, and I am none of these.
I am a thinking being.
I am all the things that I feel and want and do, and all the things I cannot.
I am of shadow and matter and yet I am none of these.
I am the breath in my lungs and the blood in my veins.
I exist, but only for a brief moment in time, and when I cease to be on earth, then I will exist in the greater conciousness, for eternity, and beyond even that.
