I also appreciate those around me who model a much more excellent way and i hope that you continue to choose to be open - a vulnerable hobbit who does not know the way but then does not journey alone or carry the burden single handed... there’s more than one way to fight a dragon and even an old evil dragon like smaug had a soft spot – which makes me wonder whether the takers and hoarders of the world grow harder and the givers and servants of this world grow softer, more open – even the hardest of us can be pierced by grace like an arrow and the softest of us who bruise so easily feel tender healing of its warm touches…

You once told me that you think my "walls are quite permeable"... you recognized it because you have that problem yourself. Well, lately, I've noticed how true that statement is about me. And I'm with you, Calacirian... I just can't help cuz I seem to have the same type of amoeba walls. But I can pray for you to understand you (us)... let me know if you get revelation! you may not know how much this post makes sense to me.
