“We feel that to reveal embarrassing or private things, we have given someone something, that, like a primitive person fearing that a photographer will steal his soul, we identify our secrets, our past and their blotches, with our identity, that revealing our habits or losses or deeds somehow makes one less of oneself. ”
“When we talk about ourselves, about others, or simply about things, we want- it could be said – to reveal ourselves in our words: We want to show what we think and feel. We let other have a glimpse into our soul.”
“We reveal something of our nature when we sing, something that can be disguised in our speaking voice.”
“Our identity is like that of an onion; with each experience we endure, a layer is peeled away, finally revealing who we really are at the core.”
“The secret things belong to Jehovah our God; but the things that are revealed belong to us and to our children forever, that we may do all the words of this law.”
“Sometimes, we do not believe in ourselves until someone else reveals that, deep inside of us, something is valuable, worth listening to, worthy of our trust, sacred to our touch. Once we believe in ourselves we can risk curiosity, wonder, love, or any other experience that reveals our human spirit.”
