Healing is everywhere, if you're
a druggie
an alcoholic
a gambler
a workaholic
We have places you can go
we have programs galore
we have dozens of schools of psychology
We categorize everybody
Everyone falls into our neat little schema
(supposedly)
But some of us don't have clear-cut problems
Some people have struggles more like a void made of silly putty,
acidic and difficult to grasp, nameless, voiceless, yet impossible to silence
Our categories will be the death of us all
Unless we're willing to embrace humanity again.
Sometimes dysfunction masqurades as normalcy,
if it's outgoing and sociable....
if you're an otherwise nice person who makes a lot of money...
you can cloak your spiritual shortcomings
We need a new way to be human that recognizes all manner of foibles.

sometimes I pop a provigil and eat some chocolate and say fuck it but I have to keep my job so I dont take time and smoke some good modern marijuana and run through the woods lit and laughing...and I miss it...O still run through the woods laughing and on a bent of some delusion or mad stupor...but sometimes sanity is not always feeebased just as a contrarian to my own contrarian self....pot slows the paradox pretty nicely and I can laugh at my hand or a bluegill I just caught...

I hear you, Phantasm, "We have dozens of schools of psychology." I kind of wonder if Freud had it right. We have that "needy little me" that Freud calls the Id, always crying about something and usually victimized by the Superego, that damning judge that sits on the other shoulder. (I personally don't think it has a halo.) And then there's the conditioned self sitting in the middle, beat up by a needy body and really beat up by the judge in the mind. I just try to tune them both out. It's a little more peaceful that way. I guess I like the middle. And then from there (Aims) I just look UP. (ha)
