Quicksand

The Unfolding Enneagram

My word for 2020 is Quicksand. I feel like I’ve been stuck and just trying to keep my head above the muck and breath while simultaneously struggling to get out and RUN away. But am I really stuck?

An Enneagram Type 7’s Basic fear is of being TRAPPED. Granted this usually refers to being trapped in emotional pain but that feeling of NO WAY OUT can cause me to RUN or shut down. And when a 7 shuts down it can be scary. So, since I’ve had NOTHING BUT TIME I’ve done a lot of thinking. Am I really STUCK or have I been given an opportunity to reconsider where I want to go. Funny thing about Quick Sand - HOLD ON TO YOUR SCIENCE HATS because this is going to blow your mind - According to a study published in the current issue of the journal Nature, it is impossible for a person immersed in quicksand to be drawn completely under. The fact is, humans float in the stuff.

WHAT?? YES - you heard correctly - If you just relax, your body will float in it because your body is less dense than the quicksand!!!

It’s hard to imagine that this time of being quarantined and cut off from the usual patterns of living is a GIFT if we chose to see it that way. I’m asking myself…."Am I trapped?" Is that true? Or am I being given the opportunity to be set FREE? To get UNSTUCK.
