You are a fish out of water when everything that you thought made you the person you are gets stripped away from you and you end up with nothing but the person you actually are. Some people actively seek this experience to find themselves, others are forced to experience it, and still others never truly experience it at all.
Your piece resonates, pulses. You are able to describe with compassionate sadness what most people feel about themselves. In actuality when all is "stripped away" and you really are truly alone with yourself real growth is possible. Cultural, material, neighborly clothing often serves to obscure, not ornament.
ReplyDeleteI love your piece.
