My recent journey to the woodshed has really sparked an interest in rope for me. It has also made me realize just how much i do want to play again, but in the same thoughts also sparks that fear of playing. Maybe my trust has just been broken to the point of no return? I'm not one to just drop my pants and allow just anyone to do whatever they wish but it seems that most i meet are only interested in that. Why is it that nobody wants to take the time to actually get to know people? Do they not realize that, that make the play (and everything else) so much better? Is my thinking "old school" or are others having the same issues?

Pain in its self is only a sensation and it is our attitudes of resistance to it, and fear, which makes it uncomfortable. These attitudes are conditioning and can be released, or simply traded for more fulfilling attitudes. Acceptance and gratitude. Offer it love, instead.
