In reply to letter writing therapy?, posted by JLynn on March 21, 2005, at 22:33:39
Writing is theraputic
but for the wrong reason.
My writing provides a conduit
through which pent up emotion
can run through
an escapeMy father is dead.
Why should I waste my emotion
on dead?
the block.So I skip over the block
Emote on projects
swing with ideas
immerse myself in work
feel passion about things
ignore the dead block
like it doesn't exist
the only real thing in my life
does not live
it is DEAD.
it will always be DEAD
and there is no way I am going to trust my emotion to DEAD.
take out the E and what does DEAD spell?
DADS are DEADA young girl's husband takes the place of her dead father
takes the place of DEAD?
so he is DEAD
In her mind, a DEAD block to emotion
Yet he feels passion for her
She discovers a bridge
and uses fantasy to skirt over the dead
and he is satisfied for a moment.but DEAD is DEAD and nothing can penetrate.
A passionate and emotional person
with no place to spill
except the first passerby.
she trusts the living
but not the DEAD.
and writing is not therapy.
it only opens the conduit.
Why can't she trust the DEAD?
How can DEAD live again
when it has not died yet?
Why won't she build a conduit
to her husband?
Because it is north north
and south south.
So, turn it around.
that simple.
Rein the galloping horse around
and love the man
not the project
or the position
or the thing.
love the man.
It's oK to love the man
He is not dead
He is not dad
He is not dead
He is not dad
Dad is DEAD
even though he lives on.
Denial won't work
he is actually dead
face it.
dad is dead.
dad is dead
dad is dead
dad dad dad
dad dad dad
not husband.
