Here is an image that
popped into my head with peculiar vividness the other day.
A strong, broad-shouldered
man is carrying a child in his arms.
He's so strong, she weighs practically nothing to him and so loving that he
holds her securely. But she is screaming
in panic: "Don't drop me! Don't
drop me!"
He smiles tenderly and says
in reply: "Why do you think I would drop you? I never have before. I am
plenty strong enough to carry you. All
your life I have loved you. Of course,
I might have to set you down so you can learn to walk. But I'm not going to drop you. And I promise I'll hold your hand."
So all that frantic worry is useless and
silly. He has me and I am safe.
