Free write: The size of you

Our free-write today is a quote from Fernando Pessoa's The Book of Disquiet.  It's a book that is a little bit like Dostoevsky's Notes from Underground, where a narrator kind of discusses himself and reflects on what happens to him.  Pessoa called it a "factless autobiography"--take that how you will. Anyway, take 5 minutes to think about this quote with your pen, writing (WITHOUT STOPPING) on what you feel it means and maybe how you identify with it it or don't identify with it.

I am equal in size to whatever I see
Not hemmed in by the size I am.

 By the way, if you're interested in sharing your free-writes, you can type them into the comments section or you can email them to me for an audience of one.
