My
toe is continuing to heal, but part of the healing process requires
that I wear a sock on my left foot at all times. Yesterday, I found
myself walking out to the reception room at my office wondering what
the people I was about to meet would think about my one sock. As it
happens, they never asked.
This
morning I am aware that having to wear my sock has provided me with
another opportunity to encounter ego, and it's invitations of shame.
I am pondering the difference between humility and humiliation.
Humility reminds me that I am on a path to greater awareness.
Humiliation invites me to think of my sock as a testament to failure.
Today,
I am declining the invitations of humiliation, and seeing my sock as
a more public reminder of my intentions be more aware.
