The clothing style you choose to wear, The style of your shoes, The cut of your hair. Is there symbolism here? The way in which you choose to speak. The way you breathe that comes naturally. The unspoken language in the way you move. Is there symbolism here, a spiritual groove? The choices in this life you make, Do they depict true or fake? Symbolism To which “you” will others it take?

You have brought it right home DKW, makes me wonder about the saying "Clothes does not make a man" I beg to differ when I see a hoodie clad, trouser- round- the- behind youngster approaching me.

Our main way of communicating is through sight and body language. All of our words are colored by the way we present ourselves when saying them. Great write Wench.

Interesting read Lauri, I've recently been thinking about this myself. My true desire is to wear attire that is very primal and crude. But I've always felt to dress this way might be viewed as rude. Owl need to find some middle ground between who and what I am. Garments that project my soul without appearing as a sham.

What I want to wear, and how I walk my walk The style of my hair and the words I talk The smile on my face and the car I drive Does it make my place and did I finally arrive? I don't think so...... Others define me by the outside... and create their own symbolism of who I might be.

And what about possessions that you keep within your home ... or the car you drive or the fill in the blank... I have been thinking alot about all of this as I prepare to sell everything ... these things are not me but in a way are a reflection of me ... and sometimes it is strange to say goodbye... Thanks for the ponderings g/f

Very good thoughts L...., we all have something that symbolizes us in some way or another. I have a question though. It will be in an email.

Thanks for the ponderings g/f It's a stripping bare to let go of everything that we keep around... all our 'stuff'.. Casting off the robes of yesterday... and preparing to begin the new.
