oh the crafty workings of mentally ill minds make for interesting reading and little else

how sad the imagination limits one to such a small view on things

the very nature of illness....the inward focus on matter of no real matter

in the long run the time spent as has been will be time wished back but that is familiar to those in this spot

they're used to wishing things that do not exist

that is the wisdom of getting healthier learning to release, forgive, let go and move on

we're only as sick as our secrets and if what is said is one's truth then more power to ya

documentation goes both ways for the Mustelidae beset by fear and anxiety which is silly when the truth is perspective which mental illness skews anyhow

those with degrees looking to help others need to clean up their glass houses first before accusing again and again

perhaps the smudges obstruct clear thinking and delusions run their course unchecked for time and beyond for those wed to their beliefs

for those who chose actions of harm over silence will learn their folly as time passes

karma is a beautiful thing in how it can teach even the most bitter and closed minds what life truly holds

namaste humanity on a petri dish

the process is interesting - what harms, what helps. understanding that and implementing it in responses.

the nature of a perspective is to be limited and incomplete

we have a representation of reality that is always less than what is in the world and we have a representation of reality that is always mroe than what is in the world because of the perspective from which we view it.

the inward focus is only of use if it leads to practical changes in ways of interacting

its easy to lose sight of that

mental illness is a perspective (much like any other) on a situation that is unusual.

its hard to see how much all glass houses are the same and how much about your glass house is particular to you

perhaps the content of delusions; what people are trying to say is something we do not take pains to attempt to understand.

we assume they have a skewed perspective on an ordinary phenomena where they might have an ordinary perspective on a skewed or unusual phenomena

didn't know creative writing could be disected with philosophy. Wasn't seeking that but thanks for staying true to yourself sweetie and not keeping your secrets.

Sorry - my intention wasn't to disect with philosophy, rather to join in with another voice from a slightly different perspective saying what I took to be fairly much the same thing...

I liked what you wrote and it got me thinking. I should have said that.

Alexandra,

No need for sorry or should. Such connotations with those words! We communicate in different languages. Takes time to learn the dialect of another. Staying alive provides all kinds of time to examine things more closely. :)

We're glad your time away did you good. Keep on thinking...and start on those dives into the depths as you're ready.

I immerse myself in the waters of doubt so as to renew my power to think
