avant garde...
it is due to the fact that i cannot lie on my back, so each move on the right or left side is quite painful...

"the dream of safety is the source of all fears" -- I'd never really looked
at it quite this way, but its very true. If we were accepting, we wouldn't split it into safe/unsafe. Great post!

I do, avant garde...
I have seen my doctor today, he said that it might take longer to heal my sacrum than what they told me at the hospital, but not to worry, just to be patient...and to have a walk every day (well i like walking and do it on a daily basis, so no problem lol), that it was good even for the broken bone lol

That is exactly how it is done. Believe that you are safe, and you will experience that.

Precisely. Cancel out what security is not, and security is left in its unencumbered state.

The idea of security is fraught with fear, which engenders insecurity. Thank you for reading.

I don't try to fabricate any talisman in my head...
what i am trying to do is to walk out of my door without fearing anything...anyway, you cannot foresee what can happen within the next second, so why being scared? I think there is no reason to be scared...that's the way i try to live every day...

If only we all could see the illusion, then our safety would be guaranteed.

Yes, it's burned up. My fireplace burns up twice as much wood as my wood stove. It was bitterly cold for a few days after the ice storm.
Apple wood burns very hot, but there are other woods that burn hotter. It was green, too. Black Locust burns the hottest of the woods around here. Get a hold of a dead locust tree and you have heat that will drive you out of the house.
I've had my air conditioner come on when the temps are in the 20's outside.

I was trying to visualize someone in water reaching for something and the ripples send it further off.
.Are you burning the apple tree the storm took?I have heard that the wood burns so hot you need to be careful with how much you stoke into the fire.
thanks

That aphorism about dreams of safety and fear...
It's so dead on. I love how you come up with these things that I wish I thought up! lol. If I was to make one of your aphorisms into a talisman, it would probably be this one.

How true, and apropos to a problem I've been having from another blogger, i.e. intimidation, harrassment, profanity and general abuse because I post opinions and material she does not like. Please read my latest post, then go to my comments section where you'll see an example of what I'm talking about. I have filed a formal complaint with Shaycom. I hope you agree that I am not overreacting, but if you do not, I'll certainly respect your input. Thanks--
