Once again, I started in immediately with my knife to peel the next layer. When I saw how I was scraping the inner surface, I immediately switched to gently peeling away with my fingers.
I wonder, “Is this how I treat myself (and others), immediately cutting in? What will be available as I become more gentle with myself? ” How about if it’s simply – not always so simple – appreciating the unaltered beauty of what’s underneath?
How about you? How do you treat yourself? With a knife or with loving tenderness?
