I have an intense fear of heights.
Not because I fear the fall
I fear the desire to jump
Because I believe I can fly.
There is a tremendous difference between metaphorical and literal
Know the difference
When you’re standing on a cliff.

Oh gosh Colleen. I know that feeling. But this brough a memory back. After chemo, when I got back home, I was always “high” because they gave me a strong dose of steroid as well, and that made me think I could do ANYTHING! I thought I could stand on my bedroom window ledge and just jump off and fly!!!

Oh Lorraine! What a scary feeling, though also, sounds kind of exhilarating. In a very odd way. I am seriously terrified of heights. And I was just playing with that thought when I wrote this. But geez….

I have a friend in America – Wisconsin- and we joked that she had to watch out for me flying over her house. Ivwas always absolutely high, and exhilarated when I came home from chemo in the evening, and I felt I could have done ANYTHING! It was just the steroids doing it though. The next day I was as low as low. Strange times.

It sounds very strange Lorraine. I’m kind of glad you had those high moments, though it sounds like the grounding was pretty rough.

😉 I am pretty sure I don’t have to worry about jumping. I would be too scared to get to that point.

Oh my goodness, Colleen, that is EXACTLY why I fear heights! Deep deep within there is this tottering, jelly-like inclination to just jump. It looks so lovely. And then the fear stems from this inability to control that strange strange desire!

I can imagine that if I ever actually got to the top of the heights….I would fear the power of that. My fear of heights is so intense. I have, in my lifetime, on a rare occasion been able to get to the top of…. a couple of mountains, some towers, etc…. It is SUCH an adrenaline rush of fear. But, I’ve mostly NOT been able to get to the top of something I want to climb….and I am saddened because I so badly want to get there….
