Atmospheres far and near

A big subject I know and I do not pretend to be an expert or even a well-versed environmentalist. I just have some thoughts. Here they are:

If we have a hole in the ozone layer or if it is thinning, we are burning away. It could be looked at as a metaphor--- a burning away that creates change as the world heats up.

I have created an atmosphere around me just as we do on our planet. As I age, life's events serve to "burn away much of that atmosphere. It's as though I'm losing parts of my former self as I age.

First it was my youth and then my children, then my career faded away as the years have gone by. Eventually nearly all my persona thins like the hair on my body. Losing the personality becomes a choice. At least for now. I still choose to keep the personality of a loving, caring person and I will let go of that too as I age further.

How I am seen is not always how I want to be seen. So as I thin my atmosphere, as the clouds no longer obscure, I can been seen more and more for who I truly am.
And when I am, I rejoice.

What is left when all these coverings fall away? I think it is the true self which is in all of us. Perhaps it is the same for the planet. Perhaps our true planet is yet to be discovered. Perhaps the ozone layer thinning is like the planets natural way to create anew.

I believe that once we reveal our true selves we recognize each other just as a thirsty man recognizes water in a desert.

Then it matters not the coverings you wear, as you are always safe and no longer need to protect the self.
This can truly be the end of war amongst mankind!!!
