Surrounded by The Light

I am standing in the eye of a hurricane and feel the swirling of the dangerous, tumultuous winds around me, knowing that once the eye passes, I will be vulnerable to the unknown storm. I am in such a place as I contemplate the swirling of multiple transitions. Mostly, with the book PRESENCE coming out, I am about to step into a spotlight I have shied away from most of my life. My spirituality and my path have been private. My family and friends have seen me go to Quaker Meeting and embrace the greater part of being Quaker. They have seen me go to church and engage in all sorts of connections. But I rarely speak of my path. 

That is about to change, I imagine, with the coming out of the book -- I, too will be coming out spiritually.

My inner world is about to be front and center. I trust I will become more integrated as my inner self peeks through the cloak of my outer self that I have worn so carefully. I will be surrounded by and stepping into the Light. And the Light will be PRESENCE.

What part of your inner self wants to peek out of the well-worn cloak of your outer self? Have you grown so comfortable showing the outer you to the world that you are hiding the inner part not only from the world, but from yourself?
