With emphasis on the "Trust me" part. Heard way too much of that bullshit during the past few years.

When as as a toddler and teething, my Mum would rub my gums with Ambusol® and dip my soother in honey to help with the pain and keep me quiet. To no avail... My Dad would dip my soother in his Guinness foam. Touch down! ZZZZZ And the rest is history. |

The intellect should simplify things, not make them more cerebral. We often don't get what we want because we quit early or we didn't take the necessary risk to get it. We are all made for every moment we encounter. If we stay in process and within the joy of the doing, we will never choke at the finish line.

"Never resist the urge to keep your mouth shut."
Don't know who said that, but it's sage advice.

" How could I forget you? The faces you had
and the faces you didn‟t have. Some of you came back so many times to haunt me with your faces blown off. For some of you there was so little we could do... The despair and hopelessness I felt.... I remember changing your dressings and the roaches that came crawling out of the wounds of your stumps. The roaches that were eating you alive and you didn‟t know it. They were difficult days for me too. I remember your screams when they had to amputate your legs. I had compassion for you and cared about your recovery. I held your hand then, too. I cleaned the blood up in the operating room and then had to carry your amputated leg to the laboratory and prepare the room for the next case, all day and sometimes all night. There were so many of you....." The author of this passage committed suicide several years after working as a nurse in a military hospital in Japan. In The Trauma of War: Stress andRecovery in Vietnam Veterans Stephen M. Blank, Arthur S. Blank, and John A. Talbott, editors Washington: American Psychiatric Press, 1985, 313. |
