A Scary Situation
Sunday, March 9, 2008
Throughout my life I have been in various ’scary’ situations. Situations when one thing or another has lead to some unsafe circumstance. Why is it when someone we love is in such a situation it is SO MUCH WORSE? The feeling of helplessness increases exponentially…but it’s more than that. I can block out my own memories, fright/flight impulses – I can glaze over the top of them as only quasi-real moments in my life. With someone I love it’s a different story. There’s no forgetting. It happened, it was scary, it was real, and it is not going away anytime soon.
