Free Yourself from Emotional Prison
"A human being is a part of the whole, called by us the ‘Universe’, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feelings as something separated from the rest – a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to [...]

Emotional Overload
Writers go through periods of writer’s block. I believe that people working on their emotions also go through emotional blocks – periods of emotional overload. My overblown responses to situations this last week told me that I needed to work on something but I could not put my finger on just what. So I bring [...]

Old Age, a poem
Old age, I decided, is a gift. I am now, probablyfor the first time in my life, the person I have alwayswanted to be. Oh, not my body! I sometimes despair over my body … the wrinkles, the baggy eyes, and the sagging butt. And often I am taken abackby that old person that lives [...]
