otr: empathy has taken over my life...
dear, dear mr. emery, i can empathize so deeply...
<<Why do I have the urge to go home and listen to _The Soul Cages_ in the
dark?
That *can't* be healthy.>>
oh, but *sure* it is. have you never craved chocolate? or potato chips? or
chocolate covered potato chips?
"last night i dreamed i ate a chocolate cake, and when i woke up i was sure
it was true, so i weighed myself just to be sure and drank a diet coke."
have you never craved solitude?
"before you grab my hand to save me, why don't you ask me if i'm finished
yet?"
or comfort?
"down at the bottom...hello? is there anybody up here? it's cold, and i'm
so lonely."
or solitary comfort?
"sit beside the breakfast table, think about your troubles. pour yourself a
cup of tea, and think about the bubbles."
have you never wanted to just *feel*?
"maybe i'm not crazy, just inconsolable."
have you never wanted another being to confirm that you are not alone?
"there, at the garden verge, i will pull you up in hope again. no more
second thought will crowd you out of your desire. to be loved, not touched,
to be blameless and ecstatic again."
have you never decided that you've just done enough? that it's time to
rest?
"after seven days, He was quite tired, so God said: 'Let there be a day
just for picnics, with wine and bread.'"
yes, there are times you must pick yourself up. some of the best (or
worst?) advice i ever received was when i was in a place just like you
are...my fiance said, "if you get control of your environment, you'll feel
in control of your life." of course, i didn't marry him.
"Inside of me there are two dogs. One of the dogs is mean and evil. The
other dog is good. The mean dog fights the good dog all the time."
"Which dog wins?"
"The one I feed the most."
btdt,
denice
