Fear Is A Huge Thing For Older

I Like To Imagine A Person's Psyche To Be Like A Boardinghouse Full Of Characters. The Ones Who Show Up Regularly And Who Habitually Follow The House Rules May Not Have Met Other Long-term Residents Who Stay Behind Closed Doors, Or Who Only Appear At Night. An Adequate Theory Of Character Must Make Room For Character Actors, For The Stuntmen And Animal Handlers, For All The Figures Who Play Bit Parts And Produce Unexpected Acts. They Often Make The Show Fateful, Or Tragic, Or Farcically Absurd.

I Think We're Miserable Partly Because We Have Only One God, And That's Economics.

Open Your Heart, Your Gaze, To The Visitations Of Angels, Even If The Gifts They Bring May Not Be Centeredness And Balance But Eccentricity And A Wholly Unfamiliar Sense Of Pleasure Called Joy.

The Gift Of An Image Is That It Provides A Place To Watch Your Soul.

You Know, People Come To Therapy Really For A Blessing. Not So Much To Fix What's Broken, But To Get What's Broken Blessed.
