My Name

In ancient Sanskrit, it means non-duality.

It reminds me of a bright blue sky.

Or even a lone bird flying above a forest.

The first time that it's read, it comes out like jargon from another planet.

"Adiwhite? Adivith? Bubbaith?"

Raising my hand slowly, I correct all of them.

When my family says it, it sounds perfect like all the pieces of a puzzle fit in.

Sounding like a fresh lemon's zing in your mouth, "Advaith" is said.

It was the name of an ancient saint who shared his ideas with the world courageously.

Having this name, I know that I have courage too like a brave warrior.

Nobody else in the world is like me: distinct and unreplaceable.

I know that for everything, I am capable.

By knowing my name's might.

Unique and one and only; that means Advaith.
