Today, I have on a costume of comfort, a pair of pajama bottoms, an old t-shirt with holes in it. Tonight I will get more regal when I go out to teach my writing class. I’ll put on a face then and hope that under it I will be seen for the real me. I hope that part will shine out. I hope that at times the outer me will become transparent.

This idea was a favorite of mine from the Oct. study group questions, and I had a huge smile on my face hearing that our current personality and body is like our latest soul’s fashion. It is a creative way to see everyone, and it heightens my appreciation of everyone. And knowing that ultimately we are not our costume, even if we seem to get lost in it for a while, leaves room for playfulness. (And if you are like me, maybe even irreverence!)

I think I’m really getting it that I’m not my costume, I am my soul, but not all the time. Sometimes I forgot that. Maybe a lot of times, still under it, I always come back to being the original me.

Everyone’s present personality is their latest style… I like that. And the idea of getting to know the “vibe” or energy of a person rather than the costume they wear is a good one for sure (though I wish I had a photo album of all my costumes:-)

What a neat way to think about our differences. With all the choices my soul had to choose from, I consider myself very lucky!
