playing dressup...
life is a curtain call...
when i was a kid, i use to love to play dressup...the dresses were all to big, the shoes were not my size, but oh what fun i had pretending...the problem with growing up? playing dressup becomes too real...we get to tangled up in expectations that we were free of when we were just children; playing; trusting with that child-like faith that was not forced...infact, we were probably not aware of it, for that same reason: it was our nature...
'knowing' i am 'playing' dressup has been a real gift of grace.
it is a far cry from the 'me' that was all caught up in the game, not even knowing that it was a game...
play the game...but know that it is just a game...and that it is just a 'part' you are playing...
you can smile...and know...and play...
the universe is a playground...so go and have fun!
