Authenticity
🕑 Added 2024-02-08 19:12:56 +0000 UTCIn the last few days topics of authenticity are very present... Masks, authenticity, vulnerability of showing it, reactions of others towards self- authenticity...
Do you carry m(any) masks? With whom? With whom can you be authentic? When or where do you feel most authentic?
I remembered a conversation with a neighbour months ago; they reflected that they'd miss our conversations in the river as he found them to be really authentic. I do feel that being nude outdoors is a portal for authenticity; no possibilities to hide, and nature can hold everything.

I feel exactly the same way - authenticity with nudity outdoors

I love that Samuel, to bring awareness to others and share about the masks that you wore and why you did so. A lot of self reflection, courage, vulnerability, and love there

That's beautiful to read; that resonates with me too... as an animist I do feel that all has spirit. Being in contact with soul and spirit are crucial parts in my life β€οΈ

You have something so touching in your eyes. Like if you can see through soul and spirit

It's quite difficult to say how many masks we have. We may be aware of some that we carefully craft (at work, at church, in the neighborhood). Others are more subtle and we indeed may wear some in front of ourselves β I certainly do. Anyway, I love when our civil masks ale allowed to come off. And I try to take them off in front of my children, admitting fear, confusion or sadness, for example.
