Gemma, as a fellow Okie I understand the base of your dilemma somewhat. As a big hairy male I will never be able to see it the way you do. But I can tell you what I see in others when they see me.
People with weapons either fumble for them (low threat) or do a weapon check and keep walking (competent). Some people noticably check their surroundings, any witnesses, security cameras, defendable positions. Practice - it shows.
#devilstorytime #spirituality I have been making a practice of daily, repeatedly, multiple times per day, calling out a prayer. A traditional sort of plea. To the one who made me. Whoever, whatever, beyond me.
Help me.
Help us.
Help us all.
Sometimes, I address it also to "or any of my siblings in a position to assist".
Then, to All of My Relations.
Then, to any good spirits, who will help.

"What if our religion was each other
If our practice was our life
If prayer, our words
What if the temple was the Earth
If forests were our church
If holy water--the rivers, lakes, and ocean
What if meditation was our relationships
If the teacher was life
If wisdom was self-knowledge
If love was the center of our being."
