Drowning in fear
I had a vision of struggling to swim in the deep ocean, being dragged down by many layers of clothing. These garments contain all my negative thought patterns and fears.

How can I know who I really am, when I am attached to so many earthly things? It means I don’t yet trust myself or know myself. For trust is knowing that everything and everyone is perfectly fine just as they are. That there is nothing I have to do and there is no one…

Safety
I realised today I look for safety outside myself in the things & people around me. I “have” a partner. Hmmm have is an interesting word. We have made a commitment, but I don’t own him. He is not under my control. He is free to do as he pleases. I don’t really have him…
