I wonder why your first T didn't understand?<br /><br />It also seems that it's a little more complicated than that, and that part is not really clear to me. The part about seeing into the future....<br /><br />It's an interesting post for me.

You went to that swing for comfort. What ever was happening at home that you didn't like or couldn't handle as a child you went to a safe place. Your swing. I marvel how the human mind can find safe zone in order to survive. You're a survivor JBR!

It gets me through my rough emotional times.<br /><br />Don't understand why a 't' wouldn't, but then again by son has had some that were disappointingly a waste of time because they either didn't have any 'life experience' or enough empathy or desire to understanding. Sadly 't' are only human and usually go into that field because they have their own issues in which they want to understand. <br /><br />I hope the current 't' understands too!!<br /><br />Big Hug my friend,<br />Love ya,<br />Coreen xoxoVelvet Over Steelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08625445902301159594noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-79384006832128926632011-03-31T06:44:01.085-04:002011-03-31T06:44:01.085-04:00thanks for being real on this...first i am glad yo...thanks for being real on this...first i am glad you had a place you felt safe...i hope that the t now focuses on this...Brian Millerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00722940075884718007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4349731646274826596.post-64968631675440646202011-03-31T01:37:51.400-04:002011-03-31T01:37:51.400-04:00There is a place I go to in my mind as well.
