I reflect on our childhood games of hide and seek and it strikes me that we have our own adult version of hiding and have found the perfect hiding place.
We hide behind a mask of who we think we are supposed to be. We hide our flaws, our imperfection, our scars and truths behind and act and we think we are serving ourselves and the world.
We have become so good at hiding that we cannot even find ourselves. We have perfected the mask or ACT of being and we think this is us.
We believe that we alone feel the way we do. Our hiding just keeps us disconnected and alone. Everyone longs to be seen but is to scared to come out of hiding.
When we become aware that we are hiding, we can finally start to emerge. This will not happen overnight, it takes courage and practice and awareness. Remember how excited and full of joy you were as a kid when you found someone, when they were right there in front of you, exposed. It was glorious. I wish to feel that same joy and excitement when walking through the world, unmasked, scarred and imperfect.
I am the possibility of courageous transparency for all beings, and that is who I am.
