In turn, I, as the shark, need to realize that my fish will still be my fish even if I don’t hold him hostage by fear. I need to be secure enough in myself (and my relationship - with this particular fish as well as any others) to not use my teeth as grounds for the fish staying. I need to find other ways of satisfying my hunger and hunter tendencies so that I don’t make my fish dinner out of natural instinct. I need to teach my fish that his real thoughts can come to the surface and the solution doesn’t have to be mine.
Wow - what wisdom that was - thanks Meredith.
One moment of patience may ward off great disaster. One moment of impatience may ruin a whole life.
