Lying in bed, in the dark, eyes wide open. It’s the only time of the day she can meet the Self. She's looking forward to that moment all day, counting hours – sometimes minutes. Often the Self disappoints her, and it is not showing up. It is her fault though, she knows it. She knows that it only shows up when she completely removes the mask. But a lot of times she fails - you know, it takes a lot of effort to take it off, let alone hide it AND forget about it for a few moments. It takes a lot to meet the Self, but it’s worth it.
