[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 601909, member: 1721"] Witz, it sounds like you are able to trust this therapist to bring, and to bring you back safely, from old trauma. That is fantastic. I am happy for you. That feeling of recognizing we have a choice in how we interpret ourselves in the world is breathtaking ~ and scary. When therapy started to work for me, I can remember describing that I felt like one of those water spiders, balancing on the surface tension of some frighteningly large body of water. Therapy, for me, was more about imagery than words? And the successful resolution of that imagery was...water spiders are MEANT to swim and dive and survive the turbulence and trauma of deep water. In fact? Water spiders are masters of their element. AND CAN BREATHE, FOR A TIME, UNDER WATER. THEY CARRY A BUBBLE OF AIR WITH THEM, WHEN THEY DIVE. See? That imagery is that important to me, even today. Capitalization rocks! :O) It was interesting, Witz. I had never envisioned myself as someone moving easily through my own element, had never understood that I might be frightened of my own core self. Brene Brown has some material out now, about embracing our vulnerabilities. I am taking a look at things from that perspective. I really am happy for you. :O) ******* Re: Othello Awesome information, Witz! This is the clearest description of plot and meaning I have ever read. :O) I am always curious about Shakespeare ~ but have never stuck with it long enough to get past the language barrier. So, your comments, being so clearly written, set me on a search of my own. This is what I found, for others of us who may have had an old curiosity reawakened by Witz' response: No Fear Shakespeare / Othello I could not get the link to work. If you put the above info into Google, that will bring the site up. The verse as written appears on one side of the page, and the modern English translation, on the other. I like this, Witz. :O) Thank you! Barbara [/QUOTE]
