REFLECTIONS ON WHOLENESS
“One of the greatest moments
in anybody’s developing experience is when he no longer tries to
hide from himself but determines to get acquainted with himself
as he really is.”
-- Norman Vincent
Peale
Suppose
you stumbled on …
your
identical twin? She is ragged, dirty, homeless, sitting
alongside the street where you live. Think about how you would
react seeing yourself this way. What would your first thoughts
be? "What the heck!" You do a double take, maybe rub your eyes,
almost drive into a tree trying to park in your driveway.
Possibly
you would keep going, around the block to check and see if you
saw her at all. Now what if she was gone when you came back by?
You feel
better about pulling into your own drive so you do. Dazed, a bit
confused, you open the car door only to find her sitting on the
steps!
Trapped
with yourself, who is not really you, only someone who looks
exactly like you. …
How about
approaching her, finding out who she is, where she came from?
Scary, yes. Still there is a reason for this happening. You will
never know unless you attempt to find answers.

seeing myself as I am and not losing heart.”
