My Own Skin is the world of my thoughts, ideas and aspirations. My Own Skin is about truth telling and witness bearing. My Own Skin is using the God-given power of my mind to envision a better life for myself and a more powerful and beautiful world for others. My Own Skin is refusing to passively accept the truth of others. My Own Skin is having the intellectual and moral courage to find my own truths. My Own Skin is the hard work of not just accepting life on life’s terms. That is not living; that is existing. My Own Skin is refusing to accept this as all my Higher Power wants for me. My Own Skin is finding something in my life worth living and, if necessary, dying for. This is when I am truly set free to practice truth telling and witness bearing. This is when I am set free to make of this world a better place for myself and different place for others. This is life in My Own Skin.
