The Spinning Egg

Eggs look the same on the outside.  But spin a raw egg on a table.  It will spin slowly and stop quickly.  Spin a hard-boiled egg on the table.  It will spin faster and keep spinning longer.  The insides are different.  So do you spend most of your time trying to make your outsides match some other people?  Is it about looking good as at the office, place of worship, gym, dropping kids off at school and parent meetings and so on?  How much time do you spend working on the insides as in your intake of spiritual practice, food, and drink?  We are not called to be someone else, least of all on the outsides.  We are called to be ourself and that is an inside job.  I have found it so.
