I am amazed to find out (throughout my life!) that many many people do not really wish to see who they are. It simply never occurs to them. Mind-boggling to me!
I volunteer at a youth drop-in center once a week across the street from where I work and every single kid who walks through that door (usually they are walking through the door because they are in need of a place where they feel accepted for who they are, a safe place) has an incredibly rich imagination and is working to develop a creative practice (in whatever form it may take) to cope with their lives. And let me tell you, these kids are so knowledgeable about themselves and are so wise about themselves in the world- I was never that aware at that age and most adults I know do not know themselves like these kids do. Its such an amazing experience that I feel grateful to witness.
