Yup, “shyness is a form of ego” makes sense, it personally computes...AND I'm guessing it was a very effective way to loosen up a cowering class. Same guy who said "men were put on the earth to move stuff around" wasn't it? In addition to being a Dante Scholar and a real cattle rancher, he was more than an arm-chair psychologist.

So I push stuff around a lot to provide cover for the shy monster.

This piece is resonating everywhere dear sibling shy monster, yet mostly producing good vibrations (thank you Brian Wilson and Mike Love). Some ancient mystics were fond of naming "the sacrament of the moment" where wholeness seeks to roost, visit a while, and be known. Can it be that every bush is burning if we only had eyes to see?
