I have always been afraid of dark spaces, tunnels in particular - whenever I get an underground train I have to pretend that it's not really underground... But the pipe crossing really did freak me out. It's weird because I was never in physical danger... just humilation. <em>Bec's last blog post..<a href='http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/OutOfMyTree/~3/236251272/' rel="nofollow">Cat’s can blog too</a></em> Selma - I agree that these childhood experiences shape us.

Way too dangerous for someone as uncoordinated as me. I have the scars on my knee to prove it. Your story reminded me of the movie 'Stand By Me.' I think those childhood experiences really shape us. <em>Selma's last blog post..<a href='http://selmainthecity.wordpress.com/2008/02/17/the-keeper-of-the-hours/' rel="nofollow">The Keeper Of The Hours</a></em> My story was the slippery stepping stones in the creek.

And as I was writing the post i was drifting in and out of sleep, it all feels a little like a dream... sheryl - Now you see that's just so much more exciting than the brook down the end of the road!

Near my home was a sandy, silty run-off swamp, never deep but overhung with mimosa trees, moss and the imagination of a child who "lived" in the books that were her constant companions. I'll sometimes catch a briney scent that will take me straight back to that deliciously forbidden realm. When I was 9 to 11, I lived in the panhandle of west Florida.
