Since the beginning, people have communicated with text and image. From drawing on cave walls to their own flesh, human beings could not be silenced from story telling and truth seeking. However, communication and truth are often strangers. It takes much self-analysis and shedding of layers to find the truth written on our soul. But what if my most intimate thoughts appeared on my flesh for everyone to see? Our interior language would become a publicly viewed text by all who looked upon us. Then I would not have to seek the truth, for it would already be apparent. What would that do to the way I see myself in others’ eyes? My truth would be seen immediately, and I would be exposed. No veil, no façade of unblemished skin to hide the scars of life’s journey.
