There was no where else to go except into my soul and in the closet all my clothes awaited my free choice but how to choose the look, the feel, the way I ought to be, to travel through the murky depths back up to being me. I chose the naked truth, laid aside my human guise, and reveled in the freedom of no preconceived ideas, to see reflected back at me designs of other times and who I was and then was not repeated like dot nine. In the dark through closed eyelids shadows stirred and moved and I chose there the finest from the many past loves gone to come again and swim with me through waters of the soul into the present time where humans live and grow. And so we loved soul to soul in the beauty of our dreams where emotion naked and laid bare spoke a thousand words but still we swim through water unable to stand proud on land of planet earth and sand of my home ground. I stand before the mirror uncertain, scared, afraid, red or blue; how to choose the now best cover-up to not violate a truth or cast aside a deep insight brought to the surface from my unconscious mind. It seems to me no candle burns but passion spotlights soul and in the glow of all I know, I need no dress-up clothes! |

Thank you, passing shadows. (And shadows are a part of life like the air I breathe that helps me grow to adulthood in all that I believe.) |

Dear Helen, This is inspiring! Clothes can be shieldsor barriers, and they can be costuming; as costuming they can be fun. You are right that your soul does not need any artificial shielding. The purity of who you are stands as the base of truth itself. Thank you for sharing this with us. |

Hello from me to the two of you! I read but don't often comment - this working gal must watch the "pennies" (and that's all our money is worth these days). Be well and thank you both for reading. |

Martie - Thank you for reading and for such a gracious comment. Beauty always can be seen in everything and everyone if we take the time to look for it. Littlewing - Yes, definitely a scary adventure but sometimes so very necessary. Thank you for reading and for taking the time to comment. |
