Why is it that we hide behind our "fig leaves"? I'd say it's in our nature. We've been hiding since Father and Mother Busted began the game in the garden.
I think most of us have told ourselves that hiding is equivalent to healing, but deep down we know it's not true. Others hide because of fear. Because most everyone hides, we think we're the only one who needs to hide. We don't realize that what we're seeing in others is just a thin layer of fig leaves strategically placed to spruce things up a bit.
Dare I say that what we need is a healthy dose of sunlight. We need to come out into the light. We're each and every one busted, so we'll all have lots of company and maybe, just maybe, we'll find healing.
I'll see you further on up the road.
