* The danger in labeling that, for instance, as a palm tree, is that it immediately labels the rest of the world as not-a-palm-tree.
* I feel like a lightning rod. Like I can absorb all the energies around me, and remain in my center, because I am strongly connected to my ground.
* ...so I attempted to get out of the circle for a full half hour, wrestling physically with everyone, who wouldn't let me out. And after fighting for this time, I was exhausted, and dropped on the floor. The leader then motioned everyone to leave, and so they left me lying down on the ground alone. And I felt... absolutely powerless. I looked to the other side of the room, and I thought: "If a herd of elephants now just came here, and was stampeding in my direction, there is absolutely nothing I could do." And I realized that I had always been afraid of being powerless. And now, when I was there, I thought "oh, this is it to be powerless? This isn't so bad :)".
* I am a number 6 in the ennealogy, so much of my life pivoted around fears. There are two types of number 6's - one of them runs away from their fears, while the other faces them. Always in my life, when I encountered a fear, I would face it, walk into it.
* What I encountered with Sally is joy. She has a joyful manner of living, and I found myself integrating that part of herself into my life.
* Boredom is so lazy, it never walks alone. It always rides on the legs of fear (Gregory Nye).
