It can be tough to let go of yourself, to leave your sales pitch behind, to stop worrying about what others will think about you and try to share something real from yourself. Even when you succeed in doing this, sometimes it's tough afterwards not to feel embarassed or worry what others might think about the experience, to second guess yourself until you kill the memory of your fleeting moment of transcendence.

When I was younger I was blessedly oblivious to much of this, and although I now understand the world around me much better, the pain can be wrenching. For those of us who choose to walk through life with our eyes wide open, this is the constant struggle- to stare into the blinding light, and try to see past the thorns to the blossom.

Always remember that all suffering is your suffering, and all joy is your joy. With this in mind, when we meet on the street, in a workshop, at a party, in a virtual world or a commercial one, lets try to see eye to eye, and create joy together. I'll forgive your humanity, and I hope you'll forgive mine.
