When we hesitate in being direct we unknowingly slip something on, some addedlayer of protection that keeps us from feelng the world...
Early morning conversations wake me to a realisation that for all the progress I've been making to where I want to be, I'm still not direct enough, and still nowhere near open enough about one thing or another. One of those things is my faith/way of life. I want to try and remedy that, so that this aspect of so much is open to understanding - so that I can stand naked and bald before the world and my loved ones in it.
I'd thought, a while back, about getting a book, and going through an annotating it with the ways I agree or disagree with the various things written, but I don't know how well that would work. I'll have to give it some more thought... but it's something I want to do.
