I am and cannot not be

The body-mind has a family,
it’s part of a tribe.
There’s a history to the body-mind.

But this history is simply a narrative
appearing to you,
you being this awareness,
the reality that right now is hearing these words.
Right now, that which hears these words is invisible to the senses.

You perceive, thoughts and images and memories.
But do you perceive the perceiver?

And although you do not perceive the perceiver, can you deny awareness?
