Life and the Living of It

About Life and the Living of It

Welcome to the musings of one who has come close to losing his life several times, suffered enough to be wise, and childlike enough to be still excited by a sunset or the way a crane flaps its wings inches above the water. I am a mystic, an ELCA Lutheran, a progressive Christian, and a seminary graduate, This means I am always looking for others’ experiences, views, beliefs, religion, lifestyles, and faiths, the way that what they call God intersects their lives, and how love shows up.

   Survival Mode and Relationships

   In this episode of "Life and the Living of It" I talk about survivor mode. Before “survivor mode” became part of our vernacular, it was a term animal behaviorists used to describe when animals were forced, by starvation or risk of death, into more risky behaviors. Sometimes this works. They survive. The problem is, is that when it works the same animal is more likely to repeat these behaviors in the next time of extremes. We do the same thing. We feel forced into risky behaviors in the name of avoiding risk. Out of fear we choose the more dangerous behaviors that, while they have a short-term survival value, have little value in living life. Though when we get into survival mode, it negatively affects what to us is a survival trait, the ability to enter relationships with others. .
