And yes, when contemplating all of this stuff, and really dealing with what I feel instead of what I think (which is very difficult for me) I find myself feeling horrifically naked. A bit intimidating at times, but at the same time, very freeing. Who knows where the next road is going to take me, but I'm tired of sitting around waiting for the cab to show up. It's time to get back behind the wheel and just drive. Wow John, thanks for sharing that!

To connect from the core or just at the edges? To share our profile or our essence? Tough question. And it’s tough questions that inspire me to write poetry. Thanks, Cristina! You inspired the poem below, so I’m sharing, for what it’s worth: <b>Core</b> At our core we are naked and free naked and cold naked and alone sharing our nakedness in common with the whole universe that is naked with us for us to see if we can. Truth is naked honesty is naked reality at its core is the nakedness beneath that in which we dress it. Like dew on the grass, our lives cloth us in memories and lessons, companionship and relationships, at once both more real and more fleeting than the eternal truths that bind us all into oneness like the thirst of all the blades of grass for that little bit of moisture before the sun appears that dries us and makes us grow.

Core

At our core
we are naked and free
naked and cold
naked and alone
sharing our nakedness in common with the whole universe
that is naked with us for us to see
if we can.

Truth is naked
honesty is naked
reality at its core is the nakedness
beneath that in which we dress it.

Like dew on the grass,
our lives cloth us in memories and lessons,
companionship and relationships,
at once both more real and more fleeting
than the eternal truths that bind us all into oneness
like the thirst of all the blades of grass
for that little bit of moisture
before the sun appears
that dries us and makes us grow.

A little cocooning every now and again is a good thing, but don't hide your light. <3 Life is too short to live in fear. A little cocooning every now and again is a good thing, but don’t hide your light.
