EWShame :: Our outer armor

We are moving towards the third gate.  

At this gate Inanna set down her outer covering: some interpretations call it a cloak.  We can view it as a cloak, jacket, heavy armor, a shawl, or blanket.  What ever it is, it is protecting us from the outside world.

The truth is, we all need protection at various points in our lives.  These cloaks, or armor, have served their purpose in the past, but no longer helpful for us now; because while they have protected us, they have also kept us hidden.
