When I clean house, I like to turn on TED talks and listen as I do chores. Today I listened to a talk about fear by Karen Thompson Walker. She says fear is a story we tell ourselves. It has a plot and storyline development. We choose the most lurid stories and really buy into the drama. But the most lurid fears don't happen. What we should truly fear are the most subtle - the tiny changes that are not noticeable, yet they are happening.
I have been thinking about the whole process of understanding things from a different perspective. Listening to this talk, What Fear Can Teach Us, has led me to reevaluate and redefine my magic worrying. It also helps me understand Grandma better.
Just thinking...Clare
