I am the Emperor vain in my belief that how I am is right. And not wanting to look a fool consistently denied my bad feelings that were trying to tell me everything was not right.
Marion is the child who during the procession says I'm not wearing any clothes. She is the truth - saying it how it is.
And unlike the Emperor of the fable I couldn't keep going pretending everything was okay, as I did want to know the truth of myself.
And so as I accept my nakedness, seeing the fool I am and how stupid I've been living untrue to myself, I feel bad, very bad, wracked with pain. And slowly I'm accepting this is how I am - this is the truth of myself.
