Considering...

"Considering how dangerous everything is, nothing really is very frightening..." -Gertrude Stein.

one way to put it

I loved this part of the chapter in Plan B: Further Thoughts on Faith by Anne Lamott. I have never heard it put quite so eloquently.

"Uncried tears syndrome left my mother hypervigilant, unable to settle down into herself, and to use the clinical term---cuckoo."
-Anne Lamott
