Perhaps erasing those mean tape recordings would erase the inclinations with them?<br /><br />Ah they're only imaginings of a mind in the clouds. :)<br /><br />The patent man wouldn't review my drawings. Of that much I think I could be sure. :)"ME" Liz Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-23790068422316035592006-09-09T19:56:00.000-05:002006-09-09T19:56:00.000-05:00ME: Of course, I would buy the magic erase machin...ME: Of course, I would buy the magic erase machine, too. But until your patents come through: let's hypothetically say that we actually ARE those worst-of-the-words we hear on those recordings in our heads. Then what? What's the most terrible thing that can happen in that moment, if that comes to pass in public reality? See, once we make peace with the very worst potential inside our own lives and minds, we are free (or free-er.) Strikes me that the things we *actually* fear, those things that may ultimately render us ... motionless ... come not from within, but from without. And for me, the magic has come from knowing that when push comes to shove, *I* myself will not be my worst enemy. Survival instincts are otherworldly gifts. <br /><br />And between here and that moment of darkness, may we all discipline ourselves to continue asking, "so, what would be the WORST that could happen?", "and THEN what?" Because it never ends up as bad as we imagined. <br /><br />And in that way, step by step, walls of internal courage can be built: like muscles, fortitude and belief in oneself must be exercised to be useful. <br /><br />--Viaggiatore (twice in one day, eek!) ;>Viaggiatorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17621241353613120732noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-18511726676238882592006-09-09T13:26:00.000-05:002006-09-09T13:26:00.000-05:00You have a point, Bradford.

For more than thirty years I have been on a journey, only recently did I even know this, but I've been walking, running, looking, searching, listening, hoping, thinking and putting my ear to the ground all in the hope of finding that erase button. <br /><br />Excellent post Liz.Tréehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11742129819547567342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-30862307620781051922006-09-09T07:37:00.000-05:002006-09-09T07:37:00.000-05:00Oh Dawn, I would never charge for it.

After all, we didn't put those tapes there on purpose so, I think I'd have to allow only donations. :)"ME" Liz Strausshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10711283307459944821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14775685.post-87139771141272376602006-09-09T07:35:00.000-05:002006-09-09T07:35:00.000-05:00Hey Liz
