That waits in ambush like the Indians lined up along the walls of a box canyon in the old Westerns. That nibbles away at my peace and equanimity like the mice hiding in our attic, unnoticed until something precious is ruined. That encases me in concrete so that I feel alone, unreachable and immutable."<br />You amaze me. I am so thankful to have met you for I believe you are part of my path to healing. Thank you Deb!!! if anything, we will face our individual fears as a team!!!
