Image (Jan. 17)

It is interesting the the words image and imagination, being what they are, come from the same root word. Undoubtably when you meet someone for the first time you get a particular image of who they are and when you know that you are meeting someone for the first time you attempt to put out a particular image of who you are. Could it be that this image is nothing more than imagination of the desire we have of either who we want someone to be or who we want others to think that we are? How difficult is it to truly know who you are as an individual? As you are growing up in life, and this is a lifelong process, how often do we put up an image of ourselves as we are desperately trying to figure out who we are. Often times it is only through life circumstance that anyone ever gets a glimpse of who they might be. But what if, just for a change, rather than putting up an image we let others see what is behind the imagination and what this imagination desires.
