As I Look Upon The Morning Star

Opening Up

Letting the words that swirl through my mind out onto the paper or screen is an ecstatic experience sometimes. To share those words with others, though, can be frightening. To let someone into your mind is more difficult than stripping before them. Nakedness of body can be easily achieved and accepted; nakedness of mind is far more difficult to achieve, and even more difficult to accept.

The armor around out inner self is far more complex than even the heaviest winter clothing, and much more difficult to remove.
