Comment on The controlled ding by Virginia

I too have lived with fear of the ding. I am graced with the good fortune to have two cars that I love. One is only very mildly dinged, and one looks like the back of a Florida manatee that’s hit its fair share of boat rudders. The anxiety level that I experience when I park is directly proportional to the ding-level of the car I’m driving. With my manatee car, I park anywhere I wish and exit the car with the Zen-like peace of knowing that even if it gets royally smacked by a malevolent cart-pusher, I probably won’t even notice. With my minimally-dinged car, I park in the next county and realize that I really should have just left the car home and walked the 5 miles to the store. Freda, welcome to the world of the ding-fearers.

Won’t everbe able to walk on the beach and come upon clam shells without thinking about cocktail sauce – what an image! Watch out Jonathan (Livingston Seagull, that is!).

This seems like a new way
of looking at winter,
through the lens of summer
coming from the far end
of a long tunnel.

Yes, it is so hard to find that perfect balance between “too much” perceived freedom and too little, and I wonder how many of us are really satisfied with this aspect of our lives. During my 39-year marriage I always felt I had too little freedom. I felt I was living in reference to to other people rather than myself. And yet, those very constraints gave me the belonging of husband and family and the social connections that go along with that. Now that I have left that security for theoretically unlimited freedom, I feel cut adrift, untethered, inconsequential at times. Was Janis Joplin right when she sang, freedom’s just another word for nothing left to lose? Or is freedom the positive energy that you put into your life each day even while meeting obligations and maintaining relationships? Because we are social animals, it is uncomfortable to not have a sense of place in the world of people; but I agree that the larger worlds, the worlds of nature, thought, and art, can mediate the aloneness. Your words about gathering the elements of a full life resonate with me. It is what I am trying to do, opening doors to see what’s behind them, wondering what I’m looking for
and if I will know when I find “it”–
