vulnerability
stands me exposed,
and I long to clothe
myself
in the approval
of those whose
affirmations gives me
a mask
to present to the world,
so I look for favour
rather than looking within
where I will encounter
my smallness
and my potential
in equal measure….
+
I know
I am called
to hold them in tension,
to offer them as gift,
but now they both seem
too fragile
to stand,
so instead I hide….
+
hide,
yet long for
the light!

About Sally C
How do I describe myself, I am not what I do, (I am a Methodist Minister), I am not who I am related to (I have 5 wonderful children, 2 lovely granddaughters and 2 lovely grandsons).
I am a seeker truth, a partaker of life in all it's fullness and a follower, sometimes stumbling, sometimes celebrating of the Christian pathway.
I seek wholeness, joy and a connectedness to all things through a deep reconciliation with the God whose love blows my socks off!
I love walking, swimming and photography, I dabble with paint and poetry...
