That has been one of the greatest hurdles for me. Just because I was halfway smart I thought I could 'figure it out'; that somehow, someday, I would be able to control and enjoy. I still have trouble with discerning the boundary of personal power, that line between acceptance and courage. The intuitive thought is not always there. The wisdom is lacking. Very often all I can bring to the table is willingness.<BR/><BR/>Nice post.

And it is tangled, murky, not always clear. <BR/>Your awareness, your willingness to put your honest words out here, feels to me a very big step in claiming your own life, living from your own power, rather then seeking it everywhere else.<BR/>You are thoughtful and brave and it is a privilege to bear witness to these parts of your journey you share here.bellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04165771647378109845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7123027.post-4854992290007875862007-12-06T19:57:00.000-05:002007-12-06T19:57:00.000-05:00Speaking of power, Rae.
