It's more than "control" or I could achieve that by sorting the silverware drawer. But you are right that I much prefer to be the one "doing" vs "being." It was uncomfortable for me to park my car in New York City and rely on "others" to drive the trains that moved me around. Or yes, ride ferris wheels. There's a "freedom" element, or a going where most people never go angle or something. Maybe it's putting my ability to control right up against the edge of chaos? A mixture of control in an uncontrolled environment or something. The contrast of the two seems to bring pleasure. Or maybe that's the endorphins. *************************************************************************** PaddleWise Paddling Mailing List - Any opinions or suggestions expressed here are solely those of the writer(s).
