In the Name of Fear
My Friend,
I get to keep reminding myself that needing help is part of life. Being a proud young woman, I have sometimes fond it easier to attempt acrobatic yoga, on top of a ladder, than admit I need help. At the same time, where would we be if no one had ever helped or needed help? Babies would never walk, and we would without wonders like the Eiffel Tower, the Empire State Building, or Disney Land.
Perhaps it only partly about being afraid of looking like I can’t handle things on my own. I mean who would listen to a “guru” who admitted that their occasionally impetuous nature has taken them across nations.. As well as landed them in some grim places – needing help but too proud to admit it.
Perhaps it also comes back to the fact that when our batteries are run down and we’re hanging by a thread… We’re terrified that if we ask for help, someone else will ask for our help.. And we’ll have nothing left to give.
It’s funny how fear keeps us starving. Isn’t it?
To Life,
Kaye

You could put out those hanging nets with bird feed in them to hang in trees. They seem to go down very well. You can get them in all hardware stores.
