Naked

June 30, 2014 By Juanita Ryan 1 Comment

It is so excruciating
and messy,
so sacred
and wondrous,
this peeling away
of all we hold onto,
all we hide behind,
until the naked,
beautiful soul
we are
is exposed
and your light
and life in us
shines through.

——

“You are the light of the world.
A town built on a hill cannot be hidden. 
Neither do people light a lamp and put it under a bowl.
Instead they put it on its stand,
and it gives light to everyone in the house.
Matthew 5:14-15
