Sometimes through the miracle of a dream or a random flash of vulnerability, I see an unflattering picture of myself through someone else’s eyes.
In that instant, something radical will happen to me. I will either side-step the revelation by activating my defense-mechanisms and covering my pain with all manner of creative camouflage or I will decide to learn.
As painful as it is, these are magic moments in my life, moments when I grow up, when I become kinder and better and become more of the person I thought I already was.
Do justice, love kindness, walk humbly…
