One of my latest blogs dealt with my fear of vulnerability.
I’m happy to say that I’m letting this process have its way with me and listening
to all that my hopes, joys and fears have to say. A few weeks ago, I had a
conversation with someone I gratefully and graciously now call friend. I voiced
my thoughts/beliefs to him and he captured our verbal interaction with great
literary and lyrical genius through poetry. He described our conversation as us
being completely naked and yet fully clothed. What a beautiful space to dwell…completely
naked (honest, sharing thoughts/words that leave one totally vulnerable to
ridicule and rejection) and completely clothed (invited to share in safety and
confidentiality and embraced with no fear of condemnation) at the same
time. This exchange has allowed me to go
deeper into my hopes and fears and uncover and re-discover something amazing----ME!!! Friend, I need to thank you for giving me
that space, for sharing in this process and pushing me to give voice to my
experiences.
My prayer is that we all find that person and place to
help us reclaim our wonderfully created selves. When that opportunity presents itself, I pray you have the courage to undress.
Abounding in Love and Growing in Grace,
Veronica
