This is in Response to the Questions and Reflections for November 03, 2009:
When there's no stress/threat to myself or others, partcularly those close to me whom I love.....in this uncontracted state I gotta be really really vigilant for those medusalike tendrils of narcissism that creep in through the keyhole of my Shadow Door and puff me up like a hairy little dog wired up to a van der graaf generator.....when threatened I deflate and contract and hold fast to the supportive rigging of those nearest and dearest to me and allow myself to fret but breathe deeply rather than fuss...I've had quite a bit of this given that I have sunk everything I have financially into the Calderdale Yoga Centre (opened yesterday) and am now broke in the midst of a recession....
...but over the storm of my lifecruise, the Sun that I AM shines on and on and I sit daily in the patch where the clouds part and the warmth descends through my spine to enable me to take yet one more day at a time in the knowledge that my fretting is the laughter in my soul gone stale with ego identification like ice in a thick bladder of a balloon that sits in a field and dreams of flying as if it could do that without any help from Self or partner or pals

Congratulations Jon on opening your center…… What a wonderful heart move….. and all dat fettin' never did amount to a hill of beans…… ahh, but so much easier to see from another perspective…. Best wishes with everything.

Your post reminded me of the following quote by Helen Keller…
“Life is either a daring adventure or it is nothing. Security does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than exposure.”
You are in good company Jon.
Thank you for yr support god folk.
I always thought that 'Feel the fear and do it anyway' was one of those books you never had to read apart from the title. Simple, realy

Yep, feel the fear and do it anyway. When the going gets tough, the tough get going, trips off the tongue easily…. takes effort to do, but I know you have it in you to pull through this Jon, hugs.
