Beyond the Familiar

The crust of the everyday must be
broken through...
--Eugene Delacroix

That outer layer, that dry facade covering up what really resides inside each individual needs attending. Unless we dismantle the ordinary, refuse to keep adding items to our list of to do activities, move beyond the comfortable places, we won't break through that crust.

The crust protects, keeps us from really seeing. To break the crust may mean confronting demons or it may mean seeing beyond a narrow tunnel vision.
