We cannot hide who we are!

I understood then that we cannot hide who we are.  


Maybe for a day, a date, a blog post, a single speech, but not really.  Our grounding, or that place from which we stand to look and see the world, cannot be hidden.  All of those parts of us we deem unworthy, unattractive, immature and unholy, are the very parts that bind our hearts together with the spiritual strings of compassion and hope, a hope that we too will be seen in our fullness someday with love. And the beauty is, that desired someday doesn’t have to wait.  In the very moment we look into the mirror of others with a kind and benevolent spirit, we see ourselves the same.


In other words, how we see the world and others is closely linked to how we see ourselves.
