By overcoming our fear we succeed in gaining an experience or feeling we didn't have before. I love how you narrated your story of swimming at the beach, I felt like I was thee too!<br /><br />Have a blessed evening :)Mari Nuñezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04023042517218744561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4613300888653014667.post-84354126136279038122012-03-08T12:17:21.724-08:002012-03-08T12:17:21.724-08:00I learned to swim the same way... dad threw me in ...I learned to swim the same way... dad threw me in a lake.

I cannot stand to walk in the sand of a lake, though I don't mind swimming for short periods of time in deep water with a life-jacket on. <br /><br />Your final paragraph is the point of a lifetime, isn't it?

It has taken me many years to begin to learn to Let Go and it is a constant process. It was also divine when I could float. In her book "The Wisdom Way of Knowing" Cynthia Borgeault says, "When learning to ride a bike..I came to know something about interior balance.....From learning to float, I discovered that trust means relaxing and letting something else hold you up." Floating, as Clare Weekes points out in her books is an excellent way of dealing with panic attacks which I found extremely practical as in Float through the experience.<br />God Bless.

For someone who has been plagued by anxiety attacks for all sorts of reasons, the idea of no more fear sounds wonderful.<br />I hope some day to experience this glorious feeling you had in the sea on the shores of Portugal.<br />I must say I am learning to let go, or at least not to indulge in fear-mongering thoughts...<br />As to being transfigured... In Godde's own time :-)<br /><br />Thank you, Word. A great post, as usual.claire bangasserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12380558962103134334noreply@blogger.com
