WOUND
Nobody in that house ever said they were struggling
What the wound is
You know exactly who taught you that functioning is the bar, and it is a kitchen table in Greenfield where the arithmetic got done and nobody ever once said they were struggling.
How it shows up in your life
It shows up as a standard you hold yourself to without noticing it is a standard. The house ran on it beautifully for about thirty years, which is why it has never looked like a cost. You have been inside it since you were six.
