 It has come to my attention (again and again and again) that something interesting has happened a few moments after I post a message to this forum, send an email to someone or actually do ANYTHING that might be noticable by another.

The dreaded Goomba attacks! He grapples with me in a stranglehold that until recently I have been unable to break. He tells me in graphic detail that everything I've written or done is unacceptable, totally wrong and will have grave consequences. He chides me so thoroughly that other more vulnerable parts of me begin to fall into an abyss that seems to have no end. And yet he pounds away again and again and again. Until the abyss becomes a passage to a suicidial realm where survival looks like folly. I have survived such passages only through the constant grace that Consciousness ensures. Thank you Saniel for your immeasurable gift.

Now, thanks to that Conscious Beingness, other aspects of myself have come to the rescue and it appears that I shall now survive quite nicely. Anger, for instance, now arises and says, "NO! These messages will not be sent, I stop them here." The Queen herself often stops in and says, "Now wait a moment, children. What are you doing here?" And She proceeds to untangle the whole mess before my very wondering eyes. It has been discovered, through Her kind intervention that the Goomba and the infant he attacked were locked into an agreement that everything was awful. They fell into that abyss together.

Until Anger intervened and stopped this flight, all was not well in my universe. Thoughts of suicide were often my only friend. I was quite alone in this. Circumstances in my life cut me off from other sources of succor. It was not until I rejoined this forum that I regained my sanity. The listening, no just the BEING-THERE of friends, is sometimes all we need to thrive.

Thank you all my friends for being here. I honor you all so greatly. I hope that many more will join us here as we wend our way to wherever Being may be leading us.

Gratefully,
cassie
