The Grip Of Grace

The Grip Of Grace

There was one requirement. "Do not let go of the rope." There were many who became discouraged, got tired, fatigued or felt as if they were failing and they simply let go. There was this little girl, who was weakest of them all, and she understood that it was not her job to hold herself up but to simply hold on. She was doing none of the work...she was simply obedient.

Running and Waiting. Endurance and Hope

Running and Waiting. Endurance and Hope

I knew they would be there. Troy would show up and Jacque would come by. It was not a matter of "if" but simply a matter of "when". In one circumstance I could simply relax and wait. In the other circumstance it was a just a matter of not stopping until she came to pick me up.

Proximity, Perspective and Proportion

Proximity, Perspective and Proportion

The distance between us and something unpleasant often has an affect on the intensity. This could be a person or an event. Learning to let the unpleasant event, thing or person have a place but making sure that the place has the proper proximity, proportion and perspective is the key to learning to live with or manage those unavoidable events in everyone's lives.

How Is This Even Happening?

How Is This Even Happening?

The message was clear and it was on the wall. But the little girl in audience was more concerned with where the message came from than what it actually said. She got lost in the mechanics of the process and totally missed the product--or the lesson.

There is a count down. Time is running. Time is running out. Just because you can't hear the clock doesn't mean it's not ticking. Don't watch the clock and rush it to be over but don't ignore the fact that it is still ticking.

Morris Biggers and The Heavy One

Morris Biggers and The Heavy One

When he said, "You're the heavy one..." I was taken aback but could not deny it. I am indeed the large of the two when you encounter Troy and me. I wonder how people describe us when we meet them and interact with them. It's less important how I identify and much more important as to how I am identified.

The SWAT Team Baby Shower

The SWAT Team Baby Shower

I know things that I don't realize. Those things are so obvious they get ignored or at least taken for granted. Every person you see is a person. We know that but it would be much better if we lived with, responded to them having realized that we are, after all, interacting with and encountering real people. Not descriptions, diagnosis or difficulties but people with certain descriptors, diagnosis and difficulties.

Self Absorbed or Self Aware?

Self Absorbed or Self Aware?

It's easy to ignore advice when it's unsolicited, unwanted and unpleasant. Being able to admit that "they" have told you the truth is the difference in being self aware rather than so self absorbed you want to ignore it or dismiss it.

Not Entitled To A Title

Not Entitled To A Title

It's okay to accept a title. It's okay to refuse a title. Assuming we have good insight and some evidence that goes beyond a self selected or self deceived evidence then it's not really what you are called but what you answer to.

What Does The Cat On The Piano Have To Do With Forgiveness?

What Does The Cat On The Piano Have To Do With Forgiveness?

Keeping reminders around that give us comfort or closure is probably a healthy behavior. Reminders that don't bring comfort, closer or serve as a warning to protect us from unhealthy behavior aren't reminders at all; they are roadblocks to forgiveness and reconciliation. You can't move forward until you move to a proper place or simply remove them.

Rope Bridges, Kootenay Carriages and Tug O War

Mechanical Advantage creates unusual power. There are people who for some reason exercise or try to exert unusual power in our lives. In some case this can be detrimental because these individuals are unhealthy or toxic. A possible strategy for dealing with people like this may be to disconnect and not "play the game". By refusing to "play the game" you insure that they don't win and you don't loose.

Not Knowing You Don't Know

Not Knowing You Don't Know

If we tried to discover what we didn't know instead of assuming that others just didn't know. He thought we had something in common; I thought we had nothing in common...I was wrong. I wish I had been smart enough to know what didn't know that I would later need to know.

Fake VS Flawed

Fake VS Flawed

It is difficult to be 100% consistent. It is more damaging to be only partially fake. Inconsistent is not the same as hypocritical--one is flawed; the other is fake.

BIP Bombs, Trauma and Addiction

BIP Bombs, Trauma and Addiction

The primitive yet sophisticated response that our brains have to trauma may be the link in understanding addictive behavior. The link between the feeling I have when I decide to use, act on my compulsion is stronger than simple brain chemistry. The feeling, decision, similar-same mechanism in the brain is WHY the chemical reaction is so strong...it is not linked to simple pleasure but to survival. (The "similar-same" concept is taken from the ground breaking book "Breaking Addiction" by Dr. Lance Dodes).
