The Secret
[/glow]Let me tell you a secret
there are no secrets...
Life has no secrets
We don’t see the obvious
only because we secretly enjoy secrets
The reason we don’t want to admit this
is we’re trying to keep life at a distance
Maybe because we don’t feel loved or validated
or because we feel incapable of loving or validation
Maybe we feel undeserving of all that life has to offer
Distance is how we deal with our pain
and we create self-images to mask this fact
regardless of outward appearances
There are no secrets
Life knows all its creations
We can live our lives in denial
but that won’t hide the facts forever
Of course, illusion is the name of the game
We may define the rules
We may create the definitions
We may choose the boundaries and the opportunities
And, we may forget that we did
That’s the only secret we have
As illusions go, it’s a big one.
