Carried: Cheekbone Problems
“I have real power in me, but my family treated it as dangerous, so I distrust it and hang back.”
It shows as a deep conflict about one's own potency, the capacity to lead and to make an impact, shadowed by the fear of being a fraud, of misusing the power, or of never having deserved it. The self-distrust was installed by a family alarmed at the child's force, who made having it a fault. What it asks for is to use a measure of power in the open and let the result, not the old alarm, be the judge.
Saul, chosen to be king and found hiding among the baggage, never trusting the office he had been given and undone by that mistrust. The form implies a task: to come out from the baggage and stand in the role.
