| A right spectacle on the stairs of St Paul's |
Falling over on the day of the GET appointment has prompted a rather annoying response from a friend who believes in all this Law of Delusion stuff, that you somehow will these things to happen to you. Her interpretation was that the fall was supposed to happen so that I'd be forced to use with my left hand in order to access my 'right brain'. Oh dear.
I'll put my cards on the table. I don't buy into a lot of this simplistic new age mumbo-jumbo, and I object big time to anyone who adopts the patronising attitude that it's all because I don't know or haven't seen the light. Not that I'm blowing my own trumpet or anything but I'm open to new ideas and experiences and I actually make things. I don't actually have any spiritual need to fall over in order to injure my dominant hand in order to have some kind of creative awakening. My friend, she makes nothing. And as we all know—those of us who do make things—we don't sit cross-legged in a state of bliss waiting for divine inspiration, we know we have to keep doing whatever we do.
As for GET, I'm starting off with a level of activity that I can easily manage on housebound days but I'm waiting until the pain and bruising has gone before I start anything. I also learned that I'm only entitled to six appointments, not twelve, so by the time I have my next appointment I'll be halfway through the sessions anyway.

I'm afraid if that friend was my friend s/he would've found themselves face down on the pavement by now !!! Sheeeesh !
Six sessions of GET is more than enough for anyone
If I were pressed (I'm not, but if I were) to find an unconscious motive for your fall I would be giving a hard, sideways look at the GET appointment. I still don't get GET in relation to People Like Us.
Yes, we have to keep doing what we do. And what you do is terrific.
Dig, I'm sorry you fell and hurt yourself, hope you are feeling better by now. (I'm with Cusp on the friend.)
I can't say that my temporary left-handedness has brought any significant creative breakthroughs. I've not been able to carry/manoeuvre/operate a camera, use a pencil or a charcoal stick or the Wacom tablet and pen that I use to edit photographs on the computer. As for being blasted by x-rays… oh yes, it really was MEANT to happen. Not.
Hmm… perhaps I'm not learning my spiritual lesson.
Thanks for your good wishes. I seem to be on the mend.
