Pain Trade

Fear of injury or death oftens informs our life choices. Think about it, if you could be assured no pain, of any kind. Would you still go bowling? Think about it. No gutter balls. Strikes across the board. What fun!

Oh, bowling isn't your gig. Well that changes Everything. How about telling your boss just what you think, knowing there would be no pain involved. Would you spill your guts? How about to your spouse?

What do you trade for avoiding pain?

Pretty amazing, isn't it, how having a child kind of makes you face your pain? With my daughter here with me, I feel like I can risk more, step out into the world a little more. I don't know if you had the same experience?

Of course, I have not been nearly adventurous as you. But, yes having a child has been a catalyst to face much pain in my life. A real mixture of forgiveness and sorrow over what I precieved as lost and a zeal to live more fully today. With that comes the realization of I don't really know what a full life is. But I am on the path...

Is it adventurous...or just restlessness. Probably a little of both.
