Love one another but make not a bond of love:

let it rather be a moving sea between the shores of your souls.

~Kahil Gibran

I remember so many times I decided not to choose…..fear?

inquiry for today~ the subtle effects of fear may be locked away….it’s ok to simply notice that and hold the sphere of safety close without locking others’ too tightly and too far away…..

trance of unworthiness

The trance of fear is sustained by our strategies to avoid feeling fear. Because the trance of fear arises from feeling cut off in relationships, we continue to feel fundamentally unsafe until we begin to experience with others some of the love and understanding we need. The first step in finding a basic sense of safety is to discover our connectedness with others. As we begin to trust the reality of belonging, the stranglehold of fear loosens its grip.
