So many of us go about our lives doing the same routines day after day, night after night, week after week, month after month and believe that it is absolutely normal to live an existence that doesn't challenge us. A keen sense of confidence that we are secure in the way that we are living and not to rock the boat. For some reason we feel insecure and even afraid to step off the merry-go-round that we are on.
Once upon a time there was a little girl who lived in a place where, as far as she could see, was a happy place. She had all that she needed and even that she wanted. One day after growing up in this world of hers, she realized that there were all kinds of monsters that wanted and that did hurt her. Being too scared to venture beyond her world, she stayed and became use to fighting off the monsters. But, she became tired, very tired of always wondering when the monsters were coming and what would happen to her this time. She was so tired she did not want to, "be" any more. She thought now being all grown up that she would be able to transform the monster like in the fairytale, Beauty and The Beast. It was not true. The monster she feared was turning her into a monster too, so she refused to be hurt any more.
One night, she lay sleep in her bed dreaming. She dreamed that she was on a beautiful merry-go-round. It was the most beautiful one she had ever seen. She smiled as she went around and around, but she did not see anyone looking on. There was no one waving back and there was no one else on the merry-go-round. It was dark outside the merry-go-round, but off down a path was a light that appeared to be a doorway. She looked around to the inside of the merry-go-round to see where the man was that would stop it, but there was nobody there. In her dream, she asked, "How will I get off?" The answer came to her loud and clear, "Just get off, you hold the key."
