What makes you feel safe?

I used to say the macho statement "I don't need safety.  Life, truth and revelation all come through risk."  While the second half of the statement is true, I think we all fundamentally need a sense of safety.  Whether or not the origins of this come from the inner child,  I think we all feel more peaceful and more clear when we feel safe.  Now "safe" does not necessarily mean "protected," for many self-imposed "prisons" were first built as "castle walls."  For many, "safety" means to preserve or protect something.

But I can still risk and feel safe, and this comes from not trying to preserve what is not real, and knowing that what is real, cannot be threatened.  I feel safe in the idea that everything is as it should be, and I am not the dancer, I am the dance.  And so I dance, I sing, I fly, I am.
