Questions

[qos]

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.

"risk making stupid mistakes"

I think this one gets harder for me as I get older - if only because, after awhile, I just wish I had done ENOUGH stupid mistakes already.

"risk being regarded as a fool"

Always hard for the Queen of Swords! ;>

I'll have to try and think on these - great questions (and personally, I think Sean Connery asking *me* "What are y'prepared to do?" would light a fire under my bum, among other places....)
