Out on a limb.

Have you ever seen a child do something, and witnessed their mortification as they realize people are watching and then freak out? Or when you do something so stupid, and it just gets worse when you realize it didn't go unseen? Yeah. Sometimes life can feel like its on display. Alas for those moments when you let your guard down. That moment of transparency when all feels safe, and then all of a sudden...crap! Not as safe as you thought. Its a huge risk to take your shell off, and stand in a place of vulnerability. But oh the agony of being in such a place and then getting that detrimental feeling that you might have taken a fatal risk! To think you are safe and expose yourself. To be standing out in the open, vulnerable and bare. To think you are safe and to discover you are not is, well, simply petrifying...I long for the place of security, to let down completely, to give in, let go, to love and be loved with nothing hindered.
