WHO ARE YOU?

I like to give imagery for quiet meditation.  Close your eyes and see yourself in a strange place, other than your own hometown.  You just experienced a major storm.  It has destroyed everything.  You manage to get home.  You feel safe there; grateful that it did not happen to your hometown - your secure job - and social position.  But you no sooner get inside your house and lay down in your own bed - until you hear a loud explosion and smell smoke.  You run outside in your night clothes (??) as your house burns to the ground.  Well at least you grabbed your cell phone.  But you can't get a signal.  Then you look up and see that it's not just your house.  Everything around you is gone.  You don't have a vehicle, and no clothes.  And no other human around.  You start walking - past much destruction.  You come upon a person in the same condition.  They don't know your name and you don't know theirs.  And neither of you has the upper hand - authority - or social position.  Now - Who Are You?
