I see an earth digger – the kind with the big arm that has a shovel that closes in the middle. It has two sides that clamp down together like jaws. It is digging into the earth. There are huge chunks of ground coming up. It actually spits the dirt out and then takes another bite.
All the snakes and critters get yanked out of their homes and are thrown to the side. Great light bursts up from the ground as the mask is pulled away.
Sometimes, we have so much junk covering us that it takes heavy lifting to reach the real self. But, once the work is done, the light shines forth.
