I see you

Why do we think we need to have it all together before we put it on display?

How come are we not celebrating the fact that we are works IN progress,

people IN process?

We put so much effort into our masks of perfection that we no longer applaud our mess,

our reality, our being incomplete.

So I wrote a little something encouraging us to be people who seek out one another’s reality, and the beauty of our mess,

the gift your are RIGHT NOW.

It takes courage to unearth masks. Much of the time people dont know what to do with the exposing, and oftentimes are left just feeling exposed and raw,

instead of uncovered and appreciated.

But there is a delightful discovery for you if you are willing to risk it. Do you dare?

Unlocking

Sometimes a nail file, sometimes a crowbar,

Whatever it takes to get in there, underneath it all.

Peel off the perfection, strip off the masks:

Reveal, expose – the truth, the need.

Not always pretty, but full of fire, full of passion.

Not always simple, but full of testimony, journey.

The rhythms, the melodies, the songs lie here.

The beauty of a life laid bare.

So put on courage, put on love,

Put on gloves and handle with care.

Be amazed, pause to wonder

At the beauty of a life laid bare.
