I took this picture on our way to Tel Aviv a couple of weeks ago. It was fine to observe it from the bus window.
I can't relate to my younger son's tackle football. Even when younger I couldn't see the attraction in those things. I don't like being injured. I don't feel confident that one heals and is fine afterward. My elder son was seriously injured when hit by a small truck when he was riding his bike almost twenty years ago. Once he recovered, I warned him to be careful, so he won't get hurt. He thought I was crazy.
"I healed and I can be healed again."
Is it a female thing?
it might be a mother or age thing.
ReplyDeletemy kid is into rappelling ['snepling'], and i did it once with her. im with on these things.
that is, im with you on these things. risking my life is not fun.
ReplyDeleteI don't think I was ever physically brave. I've always had a fear of going down anything I perceived as steep. a, did you really "sneple?" I'd need to be blidfolded apnd sedated.
ReplyDeleteShalom!
ReplyDeleteI loved rappelling in high school (and before), and I'll do it again, with the kids, if I ever have the opportunity. It's not a risk (unlike tackle football) if the crew knows how to tie knots properly and the site is chosen well. My husband thinks I'm crazy, especially when I tell him how I followed the suggestion to hold the rope and dangle in mid-air for a while.
Hadassa, I can picture your doing it. My fear of heights and general paranoia, expecting the worst, would keep me away.
