Power does not need to be destroyed, and vulnerability does not need to be protected forever. Both need room to move toward balance.

Will says, I can move.

Nurturance says, I can receive.

Too much will becomes domination, force, or constant struggle.

Too much containment becomes submission, dependence, or fear of expression.

The deeper practice is recognizing which direction you habitually move when you feel unsafe, then allowing yourself to move toward the opposite quality without believing you are losing yourself.

And perhaps the most interesting idea from the entire conversation is this:

What feels like a threat to your identity may actually be the doorway into balance.

It's humbling when you meet yourself and get the answers that you were seeking. I AM all that exists. My frustrations are simply a reaction to the limited view that I gave the character whom I chose to play. I have the power to get more information when I want it

I am returning to my efforts to channel my imagination. I create for the process of getting the data out of me. There is no intention once the information has been set free. It is only my responsibility to sit in the proper position and to keep pace with the water. Let's see where this journey takes us this time.
