“It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.” ee cummings
I Knew I knew it was the only way to go forward to something gentle, something deeper, awakening slowly in that tender place, beyond the mask that fails to hide me. To something gentle, something deeper, letting go the image I hold in my hands, beyond the mask that fails to hide me, dissolving into a vulnerable softness. Letting go the image I hold in my hands, the most endearing self-deception of all dissolving into a vulnerable softness, falling into myself for the first time again. The most endearing self-deception of all, awakening slowly in that tender place, falling into myself for the first time again, I knew it was the only way to go forward. ©Paul Vincent Cannon
