No, religion is not a fear of mine.
For me, water can be difficult. I'm not talking water at the beach here. I'm talking about deep ocean water. There's a mysterious, gothic quality to it. What do they say dreaming is all about? Working out difficult problems in your real world? My most reoccurring, disturbing dreams over the last few years have progressed beyond forgetting my high school locker combination to some horrors of height. I'll find myself somewhere on a rugged mountain top clinging in an impossible situation on a ledge with no way up or down. In another favorite, I'll find myself atop a church steeple like this one and no foreseeable rescue in sight.
On second thought, maybe there is something to this religious thing.
I've left out real life fears like the stock market, retirement and losing my car keys.
You see.
Some days, I'm better off just not thinking.
So, beware snakes, getting shocked, ordering food in a foreign country or struggling through a bad tuna tetrazzini recipe.
Face your fears!
Well, sort of.
HEY! That bad tuna tettrazini recipe was in 1975. Get over it!!!
ReplyDeleteReligion does it for me. I can never trust anyone who believes in stuff that doesn't exist. I do have a fear of water. I used to be afraid of talking to people I had never met before, but thanks to 700 street portraits I have now cured that fear.
ReplyDeleteSome fears are irrational but some are realistic. Trick is to determine in which category a fear resides.
ReplyDeleteWater.....deep water....very scary!
ReplyDeleteThat deep ocean water, yes, scary. Love the pic of golden steeple against the blue sky tho.
ReplyDeletei have a lot of 'school' dreams. have read that means you're not learning the lessons you are supposed to.
ReplyDeleteI'm more scared by religions than by oceans..
ReplyDeleteThat is one beautiful steeple! I used to be afraid of retirement until I retired.
ReplyDeleteSnakes always win over me. I can stand them.
ReplyDeleteNo can do Birdman.. Way too scary :). I always say I would make a perfect candidate for a Woody Allen movie ... oops! He might not be making any more movies :)
