“vulnerability is the only authentic state. being vulnerable means being open, for wounding, but also for pleasure. being open to the wounds of life means also being open to the bounty and beauty. don’t mask or deny your vulnerability: it is your greatest asset. be vulnerable: quake and shake in your boots with it. the new goodness that is coming to you, in the form of people, situations, and things can only come to you when you are vulnerable, open.” -stephen russell 🔆**ps: there is nothing wrong with human body. our culture has demonized nakedness & turned something beautiful into something dirty and secret. people will tell you that nakedness is “impure” when it is actually the MOST pure! no, that’s not me in the photo. bodies and art are to be celebrated, not feared. don’t turn nature into something shameful. celebrate humans & your own purity**🔆
