beneath the surface...

"i believe that the best things about you are beneath the surface."

the catch is the courage it takes to dive beneath the top... we have created life around the surface, the external, the outside because its there that we can choose what people see and who the they see. its there that we can morph the "what" and the "who" to satisfy the desires and the tastes of the on-looker(s).

i wonder when it was in our lives that the on-lookers' preferences became more important than the one they were looking upon?

i also believe that the we need to deal with a lot of scary and potentially painful things to find the best things about us beneath the surface. i guess the only difference between us and a mannequin is what happens when we get past the plastic reality... because everything else is pretty much the same.

so... what really can mannequins offer the world besides plastic perfection?

what will you ever offer the world that exists on the surface?

... let the mannequins do the job they were created for and maybe we can actually begin to LIVE some LIFE from the inside out.
