“Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life, and you will call it fate.” Carl Jung
Let The Real Surface Not everything is obvious, mostly we ignore the shadow play, we sublimate while submerging all sense of what nips at our heels, waving while we are silently drowning in that which is buried deep within, our front is very fetching, so acceptable, yet all the while it is so volatile, and at the same, it is unreal, though we dare not admit this for fear of implosion, there are glimpses in moments of vulnerable reflection, slivers of opportunity to reverse the grip we hold so tightly, glimpses easily dismissed if glossed, in letting go, the real surfaces.
