Day 42: Layers

Layers:  a. A single thickness of something covering a surface or forming an overlying part or segment; bA depth or level.


There is definitely a depth or level to this life - always something covering the surface....the work is to uncover it, layer by layer.  What is really going on inside on those days I want to disappear?  What is really going on inside on those days I feel disconnected from myself or others?  What are the layers that are covering my authentic self?  What is the risk to remove the layers, one by one, and show myself, just as I am?  The layers are often protective, like a scab, covering over an old wound.  The work is to know when the protection is no longer needed.
