Scaffolding
It’s no new news - the spaces between us are crowded with walls of mistrust and need for protection. But deeper down, for some, there is another, more basic obstacle.
Let’s call it human scaffolding, that which we build around ourselves - not to protect – but because we believe we are deeply flawed and need to work 24/7 at becoming a better, more realized self.
And why are we perpetually reworking ourselves?? Because no one for a very, very long time has looked us in the eye and said…
“You are kind and decent and beautiful,
worthy of love and respect just as you are.”
