Fun and Fear

Two of my people I presently take care of and two kids in anticipation of this modern "fairies-wheel" to do radical loops with high speeds. The annual "Herbstmesse" (fall-fair) in Basel has always been a big event. 
The "loops" in my life also contribute to  excitement, at times scary and other moments outright exhilarating. 
When was the last time you re-invented yourself, crossed an unknown border, went on a journey without a fixed destination, stood on top of a cliff in your dreams and spontaneously decided: Yes indeed, I am able to fly!

Hi Zee
I am pleased to see your bold move to leave for a new start away from the trouble and confusion characterized by the US economy and that you have initially already found your feet in Switzerland. By no means a mean feat - congratulations !

I like your analogous posting which I enjoyed reading and indicate a positive and now enlivened spirit - great news!!

Best wishes

"...a mean feet" - I like that!
Hi Lindsay,
Switzerland is by no means perfect, though it is astoundingly perfect. Some come here to launder money, I came here to launder my spirit.

Sometimes the only choice is to choose to go forward. I'm glad to see some happy results of yours.

btw - What language are you speaking most frequently these days?

Zee said...

You are a funny Raven Susan. I mostly speak Swiss-German these days, a German dialect compatible (in difference) between Irish and Texan English tounge. Does that make sense?

i love your feelings of exuberance.

most of the time, people (myself included) spend so much time *preparing* for something that they forget the 'point' is actually doing it.

good for you, zee!

Thank you Sera - - sometimes being unprepared can be the gates to avenues unknown.

lol. i'm not sure i'm ready for being unprepared. i like the illusion of having control and direction.
but saying that, too much control can act like a box-- it has the effect of imprisoning one within certain lines of definition. trusting fate can be the antidote, but i still feel better laying some groundwork beforehand.
i believe that fate 'rewards' us for all we have been.
and accident, though relatively rare, overrules fate no matter how well one plans.
