Cicatrice: the scar of a healed wound. a scar on the bark of a tree.
BOTANY a mark on a stem left after a leaf or other part has become detached.
"There is no joy in abstinence from living."
I had to sit with this for a bit.
It makes me a little uncomfortable...
frankly, it sounds like a whole lot of work.
Pink Floyd's lyric "comfortably numb" comes to mind.
Which makes me consider how worn out one can get
from avoiding difficult realities.
Taking them on can be energizing.
"Liberating ourselves from the golden handcuffs
of self-imposed fear" could be a wild adventure...
may be even better than anything we could imagine?
Now I'm giving a thought to what
"self-imposed fears" have me confined.
I might need a sign that says:
"Brace yourself, I'm becoming a liberated liberal!"
Wouldn't that be an exercise in courage?
Namaste'
