sharks

sometimes I am not quite clear on millie's message.  perhaps this one is for someone else.  perhaps I just haven't yet tripped on the problem she is outlining.  it is hardest to see yourself.  

she shows me a shark.  as I sometimes do, I mentally erase it, thinking that can't be right.  she shows me the same shark again.


"sharks are loners, an evolutionary dead-end.  they get most of their connection and interaction with other beings as they consume their prey.  it's a pretty solitary life.  we are not sharks.  we are social.  we are meant to interact as social creatures.  you can't hide from the growth and the learning that goes along with being a social creature, it is part of the deal you chose when you came back as human.  the interaction is the most important part."

thank you, millie.
