random thought
I use a great deal of visualisation in my daily meditations at the moment, working to encourage my left side back on line and other things I want to achieve. For the most part my brain comes up with fairly standard images, knights in full battle array, vacuum cleaners, phoenix arising from the ashes type of thing but there is one that puzzles me, and when I shared it with my sister yesterdat she laughed so hard she almost drove off the road!I have a picture of this perfect brain, correct pressure, correct fluid balance, correct everything and it is zooming over sundappled limpid caribbean sea waterskiing. I do not water ski. In fact I nearly killed myself the one time I tried.
I was successfull in getting up on the skis, unfortunately it did not stop there. I popped right out of the skis and found myself first airborne for a while and then under the water hanging on to the tow bar for dear life wondering why they didn't stop the boat and why I could not reach the surface . I found out later that those in the boat could not figure out why I didn't just pop to the surface in the wake like people usually did.
Most peple let go the tow bar when they fall off. To me it was the only solid thing I had and I was keeping it, Besides, nobody mentioned 'letting go'! I have never fished again because I know what it feels like to be reeled through the water too fast to do anything and I have no idea why this would be an image that makes my brain feel confident. I am learning to not worry much about 'whys'. Just follow the path and ski if that's what it takes.

Do you think your brain is trying to tell you that every new experience has a learning curve, and while you've never been down this particular path before, you're going to rise to the top this time, too, just like when you tried to ski? (Just a random thought on your random thought!)
Have a spectacular day!

Certainly seems a lot more entertaining than vacuuming! (Eerrcchh!)
Maybe buddha is a fish...
:shoulder advice:
look into 'apoptosis' Dorielle, those little baskurds can be conquered.
Life throws challenges at us all the time. With these challenges we either "sink or swim". Looks like your imagery is telling you, you are swimming beautifully........
