What a great thread.
Here are two for me:
Imagine a cartoon tree, tall and straight. Now imagine the beaver who's gnawed through almost to the center, leaving only a thin thread left to support the tree. The tree with inevitably fall, but there's no way of knowing which way it will fall, or when. That's how I feel in general right now.
Now for the way I feel about the process of healing, etc:
Now we're on a plateau, with a bottomless chasm ahead. The chasm is about four feet across, just barely too far to step over. I know the right way to get across it, which is to jump. I know that if I try to keep one foot on the ground this side, I probably won't be able to balance and will fall. So, now it's time to take a deep breath, suck it up, and jump. And I'm terrified, even though I know it's the only way to get there safely. I'm standing on the edge, too afraid to jump, but knowing that I will eventually have to commit to it.
I'm looking forward to the next assignment.
