Questions

yezida asked today:

What are you slave to?

What do you desire?

What are you willing to. . . ?


I am a slave to the perception of security.

I desire to manifest myself fully as a sacred, holy woman, a Wise Woman, a Queen -- and sometime Pirate. (Because everyone needs to cut loose every once in a while.)

It's the third question that's the hard one. I keep hearing Sean Connery in The Untouchables saying, "What are y' prepared to do?"

I need to be willing to
- risk being regarded as a fool (even if it's actually the other person who's foolish)
- risk exposing myself as a Wild Wolf Woman in the midst of civilized society
- risk making stupid mistakes
- risk becoming an authority figure
- risk people trusting me with their most secret and precious selves
- risk trusting myself rather than an organization for my financial stability
- risk taking responsibility for my own future

And I'm going to stop there before I really scare myself.

where there's fear, there's power! :> but you know that.

Actually, that's not a lesson that I've learned.
I haven't learned how to tap into the power.
