Cracking the Shell

We get caught up in the summer nights of our minds. We start playing tag with ego, and it seems to be fun. Eventually, we get tired and want to go home, and ego won’t let us. It wants to keep playing, and it will do anything to keep us there. It will tell us anything we want to hear to make us feel happy, safe, loved, protected, secure, confident and on and on. We listen, we calm down, we play again. After a long night, we are too exhausted to contend, and ego is at ease…so we get to go home just in time to pass out…
