Living, Learning and Letting Go

Recently, I have been drawn to this picture over and over again. It is from a past season in my life, perhaps 1954. I don’t know who the man is; or what the occasion was. I suspect that he was a minister or youth pastor and that I was graduating from some level of Sunday School, or something like that. I think the photo shows how shy I was, and to some extent still am.

I don’t know. I suspect it is a minister or youth pastor and that I’m graduating from some church program. I think the photo really reflects how shy I was as a child, and to some extent still am. These are really good questions. I think I will add this information to the post! Thanks.

I see a leaning away, a backing off from something possibly fearful, even a readiness to push off and move quickly if necessary…notice the position of your right hand…

I have no doubt I was afraid to go up there and get it. It think I’ve always had performance anxiety.

That was over by 1969, you were fearless when we first met!

When I read this I thought of my concern that Chaitanya seemed to have no fear as a child. She would jump into the deep end of a pool and just assume someone would be there to catch her….. or maybe she didn’t even think about it enough to assume.

Changed in many ways but still deal with some performance anxiety. But not in a situation like receiving a diploma. Thanks for visiting. It has been a long time since we’ve met in blog land.
