I get the analogy about the loose thread. One thread can unravel an entire sweater if you start to pull. Even if it does not completely ruin the entire sweater , it’s hard to fix once the unraveling starts and the sweater may loose an entire arm until I’m done pulling the thread. I don’t even want a hole in the sweater , that’s why I came here. It’s scarey and it’s worth it… gotta stay odaat and go to resources for help as needed instead of being complacent. I know from the past that complacency equals danger a destruction/ eroding of the foundation. It’ easy to write. In the past I’ve written so much on other sites . I want to keep sharing but it’s the hard work that will pay off. I really don’t know anything except that if it’s not odaat then I’m letting down my gaurds and considering the string pull as you said. I like to walk in fresh aire but I really don’t remember a time when my ‘pie’ graph of life felt really balanced and complete. I do want to balance my life : work/play, joy, fun/ community/ health//family and friends/ creativity etc. b62
