::vulnerability::

this seems to be a growing concept in the realms of my life right now.

being brought to the surface through a variety of experiences and relationships.

i see as those around me begin to unveil their true self. i watch as their hidden reality becomes exposed.

and there they stand.

naked.

...for the world to see.

this picture, for most, can quickly become something much too graphic.

as if this person, in their fleeting moment of despair, unveiled more than too much to the world.

as if this stripping of their walls is rather detrimental to their souls.

as if the world could never handle the full weight of a person's true self.

but, to me, it has become a picture of stunning brilliance.

one whose simple beauty is beyond words.

beyond description.

beyond anything human.

to me, this stripping away, this unveiling, this vulnerability is the perfection of elegance.

it is a graceful action that allows for us to step further and further into the realms of freedom.

as all that confines us falls away. and all that is us remans.

for it becomes this beautiful journey of simply being.
