I AM ARMADILLO

          I am Armadillo.  A tiny tank in an immense world.

          I am Armadillo.  I carry my armor on my back.  I carry my protection on my back.

          I am Armadillo.  My plating is my fear embodied.  With no real defenses, I felt naked.  I dreamed armor that neither tooth nor claw could pierce.

          I am Armadillo.  Protected by my fear.  Boundaries established between me and the world.

          I am Armadillo.  My plating protects me.  It makes me feel safe and lets me learn and grow in peace.

          I am Armadillo.  My plating also limits me.  It shuts me off from the full embrace of Mother Earth.

          I am Armadillo.  Boundaries may be necessary for peace of mind.  But remember that they may need to be breached for peace of spirit.

Armadillo hides
Within herself.  Can we breach
The walls of our fear?
