Shedding Skin
Pulling out of the old scarred skin
(old rough thing I don't need now
I strip off
slip out of
leave behind)
I slough off deadscales
flick skinflakes to the ground
Shedding toughness
peeling layers down
to vulnerable stuff
And I'm blinking off old eyelids
for a new way of seeing
By the rock I rub against
I'm going to be tender again
Did you watch the TED talks over at Sarah Bessey's blog about vulnerability? So great!

Thank you so much for sharing! I haven't watched them. I love TED talks and definitely will watch.
