My first thought is I’m pretty dang grateful for everything. And my angst comes from others not being present and mindful to the world with me. But I’m sure I take something for granted. I’ll let you know if I figure it out.

I thought of one. I’m in a burning building and there is only one way out. Through a window. The window is high up. And I don’t have a ladder.

So glad you’re using this metaphor. Very helpful. Thanks.

A lovely combination of both of yours. I try and try and try to lessen my material and verbal impact on the world that is most identified in me being a self proclaimed minimalist. And I want to be a minimalist because I don’t want to spend my precious life focus on things that don’t matter so that I can focus on things that really matter like connecting with other human beings. So I have the expectation that everyone one wants the same thing and should be available to connect with and want to connect. But I’m still not finding many that really want to connect. But I truly do have a few friends who do take the time to connect with me. But still. I’m still lonely.

Thanks for asking and sharing. I would say The Wizard of Oz. Although I wonder if it was special because it was shown on TV once a year so the time was special and the kids were invited to watch. But i liked it. A lot. So. I loved how emotional Dorothy was. She freely got angry at Miss Gulch and freely complained to her aunt and uncle about how mean Miss Gulch was. She was best friends with her dog. Her dog was her best friend. She seemed to be so loved by the family that did all the work on the farm. She didn't seem to have to do much. Her troubles were the subject of the whole movie. Judy Garland sang with so much emotion. And Judy was so brave. And stood up for herself. And she was so happy to be home. Mostly I liked how special Judy was. I was special because I was the youngest but not respected.

I like the book Messages from the Body by Michael J. Lincoln. He’s passed but he also has other books that are about bodily features and what the underlying unexpressed emotions are.

Most difficult...that my isolation is worse.

Just that question about what was the most painful experience of my life...brought back me making a mistake at work that resulted in me being suspended without pay for 10 days. It involved every relationship I had. My co-workers, my staff, my bosses, Human Resources, my then partner, and my sister. Maybe I’m writing about it here so my pain can be seen. I love that you reminded us to think of every relationship we have. Man, relationships are hard.

And the way you explain how energy actually works...well it made complete sense when no one else did.

I think I want the truth because what others deemed as desirable or a reason for happiness never worked for me.

I’m a day late but after some thought I’m proud I can admit to my badness. It feels empowering.

I like how authentic people are being about theirs and my confusion. I also believe Teal is loving us immensely. She so respects our gift to choose. And I’m wondering if the connection you choose is with yourself. And even if you die sooner than you want, you will have brought yourself all together which means you’ve taken everything and everyone as yourself. Maybe? And maybe you end up being a hero for humanity. Which means your ego gets to have a great time too.

I bought 3. 2 for 2 friends.

I like the book “Messages from the body”. By Michael Lincoln.
