deep

How do we respond when some one becomes naked before us?
No, i do not talk of clothes,
but rather the true nakedness of the soul.
Does it make you uncomfortable?
It should, for we are all guarded,
hiding that we do not want others to see,
those UGLY parts,
parts that we think others will dislike us for
or that we think are disfigured.

This is always the hard part,
some one shares deeply,
beyond what is normal.
Not just the hopes and dreams,
but the fears and difficulties.

The gift is given,
some one became real,
How do you respond?

Become naked with them,
do not be afraid,
for we are all the same
and we all are different.

It is a gift.

A gift indeed. When we share our truths we are offering the gift of self which is precious and should be cared for, always. And also, in our shared truth we give other =s hope.

Good advice. Also we should all be less self conscious - me included - the reality is that no one else much notices anything that you do because they are so busy worrying what others are thinking about them! Cheers

it is a wonderful gift indeed, of being trusted, the hard part is when you bare yourself and be betrayed :( but i still believe that there is more goodness here on Earth, far more, to be happy about.

Still, I suppose we just have to be careful who we bare our soul too.

Hope you are finea nd well Joey :D
