Courage

Everyone is weak

And tries to hide their weakness.

Who dares to confess?

My first blog post. I am intending to chronicle my life day by day, in haiku. A short, concise little form of poetry, perfect for our busy lives. Some days (like today) my haikus will be deep. Some days they will be shallow. I am making no promises. But I will try to post daily.

Today's post was inspired by a chat with a friend. I became aware of how much I seek to hide my weaknesses, projecting an image of the person I want others to believe me to be, aware of how inferior I feel compared with them. But they are all doing the same! If we are not careful, we end up with masquerades, charades and never get through to the truth.

I am a great fan of truth. And as a Christian I want to live in an open, honest manner, not hiding my weaknesses. I'm not very good at it though.
