There was a lot to think about in that one. Mostly spiritual stuff this time. I liked what you said about how we experience God based on the way we come at him. THAT is a loaded thought for me. I was caught by the dynamic of we want to express who we are yet we look to other people to give us our identity. That we’ve stepped out of our identity as a child of God and into the identity of the world. BIG one. That THAT [worldly] identity needs to die before we can become or REMEMBER who we are. And the process is simple; too simple for our ego which we are addicted to. CAN we remember? And anxiety = perceived threat? (What was the threat I perceived from Jane — which you asked me…) What makes you anxious, excited, interested? What’s underneath that? (I wonder if that might help me with Claire…) But the thing you said I loved the most was that we can’t know God without knowing ourselves. I’m still trying to process that and how it makes me feel. I did a lot of startin’ and stoppin’ in this one to write stuff down.
I came away with a question about Glencara’s Bane… Is my response to Claire’s character fear based?
