Pretense

Pretense is everywhere.

Games.
False selfs.
Assumptions.
Small talk.
Evasion.
Go along to get along.
Fear.
Taboo.
Decorum.
Pink elephants.

Radical honesty is rare.
Radical intimacy is rare.
Radical authenticity is rare.

A world without pretense….that would be a whole new world.

Full of flowing openness.
Full of aliveness.
