vulnerable i shall sink down to my knees
protecting my emotions from society
protecting my self from over-critical me
shelter and shade the possibilities

Blog about the piece:
I remember a day spent in an open field of western NY. I was doing a sitting meditation, focusing on external life as a metaphor. I looked around and saw these beautiful flowers close by. They were open and glowing. The bees were visiting and insects were exploring them. The flowers were tall and healthy, eye-catching and freely blowing in the breeze. And in that moment these open flowers reminded myself of the over-critical me. In the past I found it difficult to open up to other people and share my thoughts, feelings, my experiences. But in that moment, it was so clear -- I realized that without opening up no one is able to see the true beauty that lies within you. Without opening up you'll never reach your unique potential or make yourself available to all the possibilities. You'll never fully experience life. There is so much that we can learn from the external world. Take a moment to look and see what the outside world has to tell you about you.
