At least, I do in my fantasies!
Whenever I am stressed out, particulary on days like today, when both of my professional lives and my personal life are all knocking me around with their crazy demands, I like to imagine the people I am being most stressed by disappearing under a torrent of water from the spring melt ...... or being consumed by a bear........ or overtaken by a glacier summoned to sudden speed.
They will rise sputtering and laughing from my day dreams, of course (after all, these are not violent imaginings of any real consequence). But in the meantime, the visuals make me laugh, which reduces my stress levels, making me better able to juggle my day and remember that I have a lot to be grateful for.
I do not think that my fantasies about allowing Nature to deal with my problems (and problem people) are unusual - most people just call it "karma." Thanks to my time in Alaska, my idea of karma is just a touch easier to visualize!
