Xray vision


Once upon a time…..forever more.  We all lead all the lives we read about or watch on TV or see in a movie.  We simply explain ourselves in different terms. 

Once upon a time there was a crisis.  It swept over me like the fair damsels of old, the sweet creatures of the forests, the vulnerable people of a metropolis. My super magical, heroic powers started inside of me and burst forth into the world in the form of knightly honor, dragonly passion, or a burst of super human strength.  I dealt with the ogres and plagues and villains in the best way I knew how.

And happily ever after lasted a few more minutes before another crisis descended upon me and I began the circle all over.

I suppose the difference is not only in the way I think of my life, but also in the way I take it in stride, how aware I am, how much the discord really affects me moment to moment.

Some people, I call them drama queens, fly into red rages at the tiniest little provocation.  Others are so staid and sure that I wonder if they are even aware of what is going on.  Most of us fall somewhere in between.

I would love to read about your trials and tribulations from the inner recesses of your mind.  I think it would be fun to meet the saints and knights, the super heroes and arch villains, the queens and kings, both good and bad who surround me in this work a day world, kind of like having a mirror that reflected, not physical bodies, but coping strategies and personal perceptions. 

The time has come to peel away all the facades and reveal the people below.
