Now administering third-eyed drops.

Welcome back to the Mind Meld,

Tiz, the sentient object.

They call Michael P here.

And I know that this is overly romantic

and idealistic, but I love the notion

that anxiety is creative potential

waiting to be transmuted,

that it's an invitation to do something heroic,

that it's not a weakness that used properly.

It's actually a strength.

And again, I know it sounds overly romantic,

overly grandiose,

but I do think there is something to it

and on a related note,

I love that Kierkegaard quote,

anxiety is the dizziness of freedom.

It really is, but of course it doesn't end there.

I would say that that anxious dizziness

is an ever-present barrier.

It's not something you get over

that you just learn to dispel.
