to face yourself
How often have you turned away,
Because you feared you might discover
Something terrible about yourself?
How often have you been willing
To look at your face in the mirror,
Without being embarrassed?
How many times have you tried to shield yourself
By reading the newspaper, watching television,
or just spacing out?
That is the sixty-four-thousand-dollar question:
How much have you connected with yourself
at all in your whole life?
