I awoke very early, from a nightmare. Thankfully a friend had just rescued me from some impossible stairs. A flexible mesh of metal coiled in a spiral that I was supposed to pull out and step into. Now I wouldn't say I have a fear of heights, but I am scared of falling ;-) Thinking about the dream after, I remembered that the ascent began by driving as I was looking for an elusive parking space, despite it seeming like their were many many possibilities, all had a reason why I couldn't leave my van there. All very meaningful and possibly linked to my last thoughts before bed last night. We'd heard a news piece on the radio about a fire started by someone charging their laptop overnight. We were urged to consider electrical safety and I'd gone around the house checking sockets, and unplugged the landline as that does get hot. When electricity was first introduced domestically, many were wary. Today we take it for granted. I know I bang on about choosing love not fear, and I refuse to live a life cowering under what ifs. But I also recognize there is a place for noticing threats and keeping ourselves safe. Acting on fear can be very wise but I guess my main motivation I choose is love.
Fittingly my friend shared this today:
"'It's impossible' said pride, 'it's risky' said experience. 'It's pointless' said reason. 'Give it a try' whispered the heart."
