み
body, one's own person
Not your name and not your things. The one item you cannot put down, leave in the hotel safe, or ask somebody to mind. Me み, and only me: み.
身 is you as a physical person. 体 からだ is the body as an object. 自ら みずから is oneself as the one doing the acting. 身分 みぶん is your standing.
