The Call: My Clothes are not Me — Cheryl<\/h6>\n

How do I appear to the rest of world? I get the feeling that it’s quite different from the way I appear to myself, and that’s probably why I seldom look in the mirror or voluntarily have my picture taken. That may also be why I so enjoy my online life. I can put forth the person I<\/em> think I am, through my photos and writing, without worrying about my physical appearance adding another layer to the conversation. <\/p>\n

My Inside-Self and my Outside-Self
\nAre different as can be.
\nMy Outside-Self wears gingham smocks,
\nAnd very round is she,
\nWith freckles sprinkled on her nose,
\nAnd smoothly parted hair,
\nAnd clumsy feet that cannot dance
\nIn heavy shoes and square.<\/p>\n

But, oh, my little Inside-Self\u2014
\nIn gown of misty rose
\nShe dances lighter than a leaf
\nOn blithe and twinkling toes;
\nHer hair is blowing gold, and if
\nYou chanced her face to see,
\nYou would not think she could belong
\nTo staid and sober me!<\/p>\n

The Response: Parakeets in the Shade — Jessica<\/h6>\n

It may appear that this picture has nothing to do with the word prompt. It may also appear that I ran out of time. In fact, both of those things are true. I guess when we have company in town we should cut ourselves some slack. Right? But in an effort to keep up appearances and make sure everyone knows that we can do all and be all, well, I mean sometimes those balls we juggle just come crashing down, don’t they?<\/p>\n

But as my favorite movie heroine would say…”tomorrow is another day.”<\/p>\n

Amen.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
