The Shack attack Several friends of mine recommended reading The Shack recently. I got a hold of a copy and have been enjoying the craft of a well-told story. When I read something that is based on or steeped in a particular spiritual belief, I take what makes sense to me and leave the rest. My Resistance Wrangler ears perked up around a few of the passages that I think are pertinent to the whole Resistance Toy idea: ~*~*~ "Tell me what you are afraid of, Mack." "Well, let me see. What am I afraid of?" began Mack. "Well, I am afraid of looking like an idiot. I am afraid that you are making fun of me and that I will sink like a rock. I imagine that--" "Exactly," Jesus interrupted. "You imagine. Such a powerful ability, the imagination! That power alone makes you so like us. But without wisdom, imagination is a cruel task-master. If I may prove my case, do you think humans are designed to live in the present or the past or the future?" "Well," said Mack, hesitating, "I think the most obvious answer is that we were designed to live in the present. Is that wrong?" Jesus chuckled. "Relax, Mack. This is not a test, it's a conversation. You are exactly correct, by the way. But now tell me, where do you spend most of your time in your mind, in your imagination: in the present, in the past, or in the future?" Mack thought for a moment before answering. "I suppose I would have to say that I spend very little time in the present. I spend a big piece in the past, but most of the rest of the time I am trying to figure out the future." "Not unlike most people. When I dwell with...

roller coaster It's taken me quite a few decades to find myself in a situation where I felt like riding a roller coaster (the amusement park variety, not the life's ups and downs variety--that's a given :-). Yesterday I sat in the pod of the car, clicked the body harness into place, and closed my eyes; that's the only way my vestibular system would tolerate this experience. Breathing was important, too--focusing on the moment and breathing deeply through each twist and turn proved pivotal to my maintaining my sanity. I kept telling myself that it would be over soon, and it was. My legs were a tad wobbly while walking away from the ride, but I was proud of myself for going through with it. I don't think I'll need to ever do it again, but it was fun in a crazy sort of way, and I'm glad I did it. Somehow I managed to set my resistance to the idea aside, and just went with it. Maybe having interacted with the group of folks who are playing with my Resistance Toy material gave me the boost out of nowhere--it truly isn't something I ever thought I would do. But then, life is full of surprises and shifts that we never thought would be possible. Until they are.
