Muse | Security | 30th Dec. '09

What is my inner security like? Or rather the lack of it? As I walked to the station from home this morning, I got in touch with the way I cling to my bag. A small handbag that contains two books and usually my mobile phone.

It was kind of unusual. For the first time I became aware of the way I hold my bag - hung on the shoulder and with the hand of that side, clutch onto it - for dear life :-) What for? A near empty road and a safe area. Can't it just hang neatly from the shoulder? What is the need to cling onto it - as if someone is going to run away with it the next moment?

Nopes - I am not asking myself to be careless. Carelessness is about not caring enough for my possessions. But can I be careful while being carefree? The question is of inner security. How safe is my world?
