Thanks for adding your insight. Lots of other readers couldn't figure out how to comment at all and I haven't been much help! <br /><br />As for danger: our perceptions seem to create reality. But confronting danger, or perceived danger, is another way of confronting our construction of reality. Once we can see what's there, we can begin to deconstruct it.<br /><br />I like the quote. The unpacking seems to be never ending.Laya Seghi, LCSWhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15262582063525761623noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7189069554843461796.post-21812870500998770222010-10-29T05:48:33.550-07:002010-10-29T05:48:33.550-07:00Hoping that this post appears connected to your la...Hoping that this post appears connected to your last entry - but not sure that I have the hang of this yet....<br />Ah well, you have been writing about risk-taking - This is not a not a tiger to face, just a post, perhaps in the wrong place!<br /><br />I appreciated the power of the five questions and the way that your writing invited me to think more deeply about the groups that I choose for myself. As I am beginning a class by Cheri Huber entitled "What you practice is what you have" I am inspired to look at the groups in which I participate and consider what they support and call forth in me.<br />Like you, I too seek places of emotional safety - yet I also experience that it is often the groups that I endow with emotional danger that show me where I need to work. I'd love to think about this with you a bit and explore this some more. I suspect for me my use of "safety" and "danger" labels are less descriptions of reality and more about my own densely packed belief systems......<br /><br />Time now though to tend to the tasks that I have chosen for the day.<br />Before I go, I wanted to share this prescription with you (from "Resident Alien: Quentin Crisp Explains it All" quoted by Shelia Hancock in Just Me.) It had spoken to me on my trip and seemed, when I came home, to be what you were thinking and writing about as well.<br />"Neither look forward where there is doubt, nor backward where there is regret. Look inward and ask yourself not if there is anything out in the world that you want and had better grab quickly before nightfall, but whether there is anything inside you that you have not yet unpacked."<br />Off to unpack!<br />Hugs, S.Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13942441653435781487noreply@blogger.com
