How did I miss this post when it dropped? On the topic of wounded child thinking the world is unsafe and isolating. I'm pretty sure this shows up SEVERAL ways in my life. I've been going on walks lately around my neighborhood, after sessions with Judy. I've wanted to for a long time (lived here 13 years) but I only just realized something that stopped me. When I was a child and tween I had to walk everywhere to school and back, to work and back, a few miles each day, and men along the way or in cars were acting sexually threatening... not sometimes, daily. If you've ever seen a poll on the subject, women commonly report first being catcalled around age 11. I had to carry a knife and kept my hand on it. It never occurred to me that was why urban walking felt unsafe to me. Like I can walk in the woods fine which is arguably likely way less safe, but I simply didn't experience the threats there at the impressionable age. Anyway, I never thought about that connection, just was frustrated with myself for not getting to do a thing I wanted to. I was isolating because I didn't feel safe but I didn't know that was the reason. 🤔

@Geo Debs Thanks Geo! 😊

Happy Birthday Geo!! 🎂 🥳 🎉

I like it, along with the idea that we're all a fragment of the universe/source itself, sent to witness and experience itself, over and over through every possible lens. This is the only theory of why we're here that's ever made sense to me.

@Judy Hu It's comforting, like an extremely complex choreographed dance, a kaleidoscope of infinite curiosity.

Stability through diversification, of course! 🤯
