And I just wanted to talk about this a little bit. Will-power, near-death experiences, freezing toes off, non-verbal understandings, and trust.

So they might not seem connected; but they are. Near-death experiences need willpower to keep them NEAR-death (and not allow them to turn into death). Easy connection. Then add in freezing your fucking toe off... or almost freezing it off but for some more will-power and a non-verbal understanding that the toe could fucking freeze off leads to trust. Maybe this makes sence, and maybe not. Depends on where you are and if you have ever almost fallen off a mountain, or gotten lost in the desert w/o water, or gotten hit by lightening, or recieved a neck-gator when your hands were too cold to grab your own AND keep all your fingers.

But where is this leading? I don't really know, except near-death experiences begat near-death experiences. And willpower begats willpower. And all these things have the potential to lead to wonderful life-experiences and things THEY can't take away from you.

BUT just now I realize that none of these things would be possible w/o trust. And not surface-level-trust.

I'm not sure what this rambelling is leading toward, but I don't think many people have the time to just sit here and yap endlessly about almost nothing (and yet everything). Oh well.
