The inner child model is very useful to me. I've got several
   little Kens I watch over - and a few future Kens that guide me -
   so it works out. Rather that seeing myself at the apex of
   certainty with only uncertainty surrounding me, I see myself as
   part of a self enclosed continuum, unaware of the future details
   but guided gently just the same towards a future that's pretty
   ok.
