"I will not ask that you nor you approve. The wild thyme is itself nor asks consent of rose nor reed."
~ Muriel Strode ~
Why do we care so much about looking good and avoiding looking bad? And what do we really have to prove? My guess is, less than we think.
It seems to me that our primary generosity to the world is in simply being who we are- not in posturing, or pretense, or appearing either more or less knowledgeable or sophisticated or put together than we are.
Authenticity is inspiring and refreshing, and allows for so much more than maintaining ourselves safely behind walls of our own creation.
I show up authentically in the world.
