Sometimes I wonder how honest one can be and still be loved and accepted. What did Jack Nicholson say in "A Few Good Men?"...you can't handle the truth! Can we be allowed to boldly be who we are and still be acceptable? Can we say what we think and still be wanted? Can we break through the looking glass and reveal our true inner selves or would everyone just turn away?
Honesty...I guess it can be brutal but it must be a relief to be who you are with full confidence that you will still be loved. Can we ever remove our carefully crafted masks?
The question to answer is, of what is this love made? That can be withheld or given, dependent on your true expression of self. Though the flower is pleasing, it's rooted in dirt (decayed life and broken stone). Perhaps we should know and rest in the assurance that all things, save my Lord, have a shiny and a dirty side. I love all your sides. :)
