When we open our shell, an invisible shield from the outside world, we reveal our naked fragility. The possibility of vulnerability permeates our existence, but accepting this, willingly embracing the fact of vulnerability, is the courage, that is our only choice leading to self-knowledge. It is difficult to choose, but it is essential to the freedom, that is only possible if we truly know ourselves.
It is through the path of creation, that I can come to a state of mind, where it’s just me, so that I can meet the other part of myself, that sees me differently, than I usually see myself. It is through these momentary crumbs of such encounters with ourselves, that we can get closer to self-identity, which in all emerging situations holds the keys to a more fully lived life.
