Human Development and the Family, 2
What happens if we don’t have experiences where we feel safe, we start to notice the reality of the outside world. And what happens is that we then develop skills to deal with what’s out there, instead of skills to identify with ourselves. The problem is, the more we feel that we have to protect, the more that becomes the story — the way we are.

Girl, that is so too true, as a friend used to quote a someone.
We are all products of our reactions.
But I don’t think that we have to remain (products of our reactions). There is reaction, and there is response. I am still trying to cultivate response.
Yes! I didn’t mean to imply as much. I am pondering narrative and what you speak of is in the writing of it.
Gotcha.
A safe place. And lacking it, the slip and glide appears. Smiling at others while ice skating, while not thinking about ice skating. The other range of thought accumulates as memories of skating with friends pile up. And then the friends are no different from the movies one watches. And the safe place to start is then always one made rather than found, when finding is the view across the border, at the gate that blocks the road.
Whoa, Daryl. If that is not too “Dude!”
Sheila, you ripped the words right out of me.
Ooh, I didn’t mean to be rough.
