Sky thanks for your insight. I think it is a case of my self esteem being poor, therefore feeling insecure.

I need clarification as to your last question. Do you mean how I fortify myself with my beilefs?

Well I stand by the fact that the higher power created everything we see, and has created so much beauty. I would even go so far as to say that being in something wild like a forest or feild has a very grounding affect. I look at everyday things as miracles, for example, the way the trees turn such pretty colours up here in fall, is that nothing short of a miracle in itself? It is a miracle that we were blessed with our environment and there are so many facinating things in nature that just make me feel....


home? Is the best word I can think of. I practise meditation in the woods often and can honestly say it is one of the few times where I feel safe, protected, and closer to the higher power.
