Day 6 - Daring to view the top

August 6 -The view from the top

     Most of the vista was shiny these days, only a ring of pale fuzz surrounding the field of vision.  The scragglyness had once been full and brown but time and weather had greatly reduced it.

    What is it?  A bald man's head.

I read this prompt, looked up, and was staring at my great-uncle's balding head.  I kid you not.  I tried making it more mysterious, like I was describing a mountain top but it really didn't work.  Oh well, live and learn.

 Day 6 - Daring to Tell

"Daring to tell, to open up the subconscious.  Then having to hold self accountable for feelings."
I've thought about this and pondered this quite a bit.  Feelings are scary!  Very!!
This philosophy of sorts also works on pain.  If I don't make any sounds of acknowledge it and if I don't tell anyone the pain will fade/go away/not get much worse/I can bear it.  But as soon as I whine or tell someone it gets worse/harder to bear because I've acknowledged it and it takes over.  Give it an inch and it takes a mile.

The part in quotes is a paraphrase of the article/the gist of it.  I enjoyed this one.  And funnily enough, we had a discussion like this on pain while camping!
