Heard that expression before?
Lately that’s been my experience — except in addition to be the “caught” I’m also the “rock” and the “hard place.”
I can hear the knowing chuckle of a few forest monks wafting through the air. [Note to self: haven’t used waft in a decade or so, better look it up.] [Subsequent note: yep it means what we thought — to float or be carried, esp. through the air. Ah, the wonders of dictionary.com]
As always the trick is in the attitude. Can’t change the being caught between a rock and a hard place. Don’t really have control over that. But I do have a choice in attitude I adopt.
