What we see of ourselves is only the tip of our own iceberg. There is so much more below the surface that is invisible to us as well as to others as they try to navigate around the surfaces that we present to them. This hidden bulk can be dangerous to all concerned.
One of the benefits I find of doing the practices of the Love, Loss and Forgiveness Project is that they get me below my "surface" and help me to see the great mass of myself that is hidden even from myself. Once these places become known territory, I can chip away at the parts that I no longer need. I become lighter and I gain the ability to communicate to others the true dimension of who I am.
Helps make for much more interesting and safer passages across the oceans of my life.

What a great image to ponder. Icebergs are exquisitely beautiful and awesome. Yet, the movie Titanic has definitely put into our heads their dangers. To think of ourselves as one is also awesome. Thanks for the image.
