Naked

Hard life I
Originally uploaded by A Parisian woman lost in KL

This morning
when I got on my knees
to talk to G-d
I was naked
literally,
without clothes
without a lit candle
trusting that
my own light
was prayer-worthy.

Asking that G-d
should have all
of me,
the good and bad
when I am just
in my skin
and bones
no covering,
nothing to protect
nor hide behind
is to truly
understand
humility.
