Lainesblog Thinking Out Loud

Like snakes, lizards shed their skin.

This one is in the middle of that shedding,

frozen almost, not moving.

It must be a difficult process,

making them vulnerable,

like us when we go through changes –

shedding the layers of our defenses,

opening up to the world and love!

When I was much younger

I used to take vacation days from myself!

I would pretend to be the person that I really wanted to be!

It has taken most of my life

to shed the things that were in the way of my being that person.

But here I am, most days,

the person I always wanted to be!

(Too bad I couldn't get new skin too!)
