on the propper time to slip the cable...

Posted by a very little sphinx on June 13, 2003, at 15:56:34


all night, the night has been darkening, the voices are insurmountable... how do i explain it...

first there are the tears, hot burning salt, when you can barely breathe, you lie, and there is a wailing inside of you that is likened to a furious tornade...

how soon... how soon... that which lies near at hand... how soon...

night, mother.

Hi sphinx,
please try and chill.What seems to be root of your troubles? Is it external stress or a chemical embalance or both? I admit that your posts are dark but you should try and calm down. Do you really hear voices? do you have kids? Can you listen to some soft jazz? you need to do something to distract your mind---leave the cable alone.
concerned,
Bobby

there is nothing new in dying, but again... nothing new in living either...

My dear, tell them to go away...the darkness carries many tricks with the mind...illusions are gifts for creative play.

> first there are the tears, hot burning salt, when you can barely breathe, you lie, and there is a wailing inside of you that is likened to a furious tornade...

the only tornado is the gentle waves of your own breath...ride them and breath deeply and slowly.

> how soon... how soon... that which lies near at hand... how soon...

How soon is now...Now is the time to live and except the mortal closure that lurks.. but wait and disolve into the adventure that is cruel but has many hidden gems.

> night, mother.
If I am your mother then I've obviously over medicated somewhere in the past , for I cannot remember giving birth.

Sweet dreams.....take good care of yourself.

Shar,

Why is 50 years old the magic number you toss out to the younguns? I've seen it come up before and wonder why that number is the go ahead.

Curiously,

zenh.

Z--
Just personal preference, and a bit of having gone thru the teens, 20's, 30's and 40's. I figure if you give life a fair shot for a half a century, and a good faith effort, then that's enough.

In the 20's it is so easy to feel the crushing weight of developing into an adult, in the 30's there is more self-acceptance, but also more expectations for success and getting established in life that we can beat ourselves up with, in the 40's things start changing again, this time more physiologically that we can again use (in our youth oriented culture) to flog ourselves. Add on a little chemical imbalance to all that, and it's way too easy to make a final decision way too early--in the midst of some external event or existential angst that may well pass with time and development (the difference, for example, of being 20 versus 40).

If one is 50 years old, lived a half century, has felt suicidal most or all of that time, has never felt 'good' for more than a few months, has done therapy, has done meds, religion, or other tries at improving---well, 50 years of that seems like plenty to me.

This is a combination of no science, my personal opinion, some grad study in psychology, and what appeals to me rationally. That's all.

Shar

 

thank you for clarification Shar--I appreciate it (nm)
